Red Deck – Cheered-Up-Related Failure Cards:
Gleeful Gaffe
Description: The character, in an attempt to uplift the mood, missteps in their cheerful approach, causing a momentary hiccup in their strategy.
Effect: The character’s next action, whether it be an attack or a spell, has a minor disadvantage due to the overzealous nature of their cheer. Allies in proximity, while appreciating the intent, are momentarily distracted, resulting in a slight delay in their next action.
Overenthusiastic Assurance
Description: In trying to rally the group, the character gives promises or assurances that might be hard to keep, leading to raised expectations.
Effect: For the next 2 turns, any failed action by the character is particularly disheartening to one chosen ally, causing them to have a minor decrease in their morale, slightly affecting their subsequent actions.
Joyful Jinx
Description: The character’s cheerful demeanor unknowingly attracts a playful spirit’s attention, which decides to sprinkle some mischief.
Effect: Random items or gear on the character playfully shuffle or switch places, causing confusion. This results in the character spending their next turn readjusting and sorting out their gear.
Green Deck – Cheered-Up-Related Crit Cards:
Lighthearted Leap
Description: A surge of cheerfulness invigorates the character, allowing them to take actions with renewed zest and agility.
Effect: The character can immediately move an extra distance or take an additional minor action, executed with a joyful flair. The sudden burst of energy is contagious, giving one nearby ally a minor speed boost for their next movement.
Optimist’s Outlook
Description: The character radiates a positive aura, seeing the silver lining in every situation, which boosts the group’s morale.
Effect: For the next 3 turns, any minor setbacks faced by the party are quickly shrugged off, preventing major morale drops. One chosen ally, inspired by the character’s optimism, gains a significant advantage in their next interaction-based action or saving throw.
Spirits Soaring
Description: The sheer cheerfulness of the character momentarily elevates the spirits of allies, granting them a glimpse of hope and purpose.
Effect: Allies within a 20-foot radius receive a minor healing boost or a protective barrier that lasts for a turn. One enemy, witnessing this collective rise in spirits, doubts their conviction for a moment, leading to a minor reduction in their attack strength for the next turn.
