Red Deck: “Failure” Cards with Roleplay Emphasis on Ashamed
Shameful Blunder
Effect: Your next attack roll suffers a -3 penalty.
Roleplay Emphasis: Your failure brings a flush of shame to your face. Doubt invades your thoughts, compromising your concentration and making it more difficult to land your next attack effectively.
Regretful Influence
Effect: An ally within 20 feet must reroll their next successful skill check.
Roleplay Emphasis: Your shame is palpable and it affects the morale of your closest allies. One of them, sensing your shame, begins to question their own abilities, requiring them to reroll a successful skill check.
Enemy’s Triumph
Effect: An enemy within your line of sight gains a +2 bonus on their next attack roll against you.
Roleplay Emphasis: Your shame radiates as an aura of weakness, emboldening one enemy who now believes you are an easy target. This belief grants them a temporary boost in their aim for their next attack against you.
Green Deck: “Crit” Cards with Roleplay Emphasis on Ashamed
Humbled Power
Effect: Your critical hit allows you to immediately take another action this turn.
Roleplay Emphasis: Though you’ve landed a powerful blow, you feel a sudden sense of shame, perhaps undeserving of such success. This humility somehow sharpens your focus, granting you an additional action this turn.
Reluctant Inspiration
Effect: An ally within 30 feet gains a +2 bonus on their next attack roll.
Roleplay Emphasis: Your success makes you feel conflicted and ashamed, as if you’ve shown up your allies. This humility is strangely motivating to one of them, who gains a temporary boost in confidence for their next attack.
Guilty Weakening
Effect: One enemy within 40 feet suffers a -1 penalty to their Armor Class until the end of their next turn.
Roleplay Emphasis: The force of your critical attack is so jarring that it makes you feel momentarily ashamed. This emotion projects onto one enemy, who, sensing your shame, becomes momentarily distracted, reducing their defensive capabilities.
These cards add a layer of emotional complexity to the gameplay, aligning the outcomes of critical and failure moments with a nuanced sense of shame that can be roleplayed by the players. This makes for a more engaging and emotionally charged atmosphere during the game.
