Welcome to Card-Magic Quest!
The way this is going to work is a little bit inspired from Slay the spire and various other deckbuilder/rogue-like games I have played and seen.
The Majority of this quest will take place through a Weekly Schedule, where you will allocate some number of actions to various things, and in certain special cases, we will move to a faster paced schedule.
You will start with a Deck of 10 Cards. This is the Smallest Possible deck you may have, unless you specifically find special magic BS that lets you bypass this restriction.
Each turn you will gain 3 Energy and draw 2 cards. Different cards will cost different amounts of energy. Energy is lost at the start of your turn, But cards stay. You may play cards during your turn, Unless it specifies. You currently have a Max hand size of 6 cards, and will discard down at the end of your turn.
You start each day with a grand total of 20 Max Hp. Damage from one fight may carry onto the next!
Within your deck, You have 4 Basic Attack cards, 4 Basic Block cards, and then 2 cards that you will be choosing in a sec from a list of options. When you play a card, it goes to your graveyard, and when you would draw a card, if you run out of cards, I shuffle your graveyard into your library before you draw.
Basic Attack (Attack Type)
Costs, 1 Energy
Basic Attack deals 3 Damage to anything.
Basic Block (Defend Type)
Costs, 1 Energy
Prevent the next 2 Damage dealt to anything until your next turn.
Time to determine your Character.
First, Age range.
Older characters have less potential than younger ones, but also have less personal obligations!
Choose 1
[ ] Child - Age 10
[ ] Young Adult - Age 20
[ ] Adult - Age 30
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second, Special Cards
Different special cards have special effects. This will not lock you out of finding the others, but it will take more effort.
Choose 2 (Can be the same)
[ ] Moat (Building Type) | Costs 2 Energy | While I am on the battlefield, Prevent the first point of damage dealt to you each turn. | 5 Health
[ ] Catapult (Building Type) | Costs 2 Energy | At the start of your turn, I deal 1 Damage to any target, I deal 3 damage if I Hit a Player | 2 Health
[ ] Study (Unknown Type) | Costs 1 energy | You draw a card.
[ ] Enhancements (Unknown Type) | Costs 1 energy | Copy target card you have played this turn. You lose life equal to its cost.
