Editing Wild Cards: The Gameplay (section)

==Drawing your Card==
A character's Gun can be determined in one of a few ways. The simplest is to just draw a card from a deck.

It can also be determined by rolling 1d12+1 (which negates the chance of rolling an Ace).

The following table is used to determine the Gun's Number:

*1.....Ace* 
*2.....2
*3.....3 
*4.....4
*5.....5 
*6.....6
*7.....7 
*8.....8 
*9.....9 
*10....10
*11....Jack 
*12....Queen 
*12+1..King 
*N/A...Red/Black Joker* 

''(Note: Jokers and Aces are intended to be on a whole different plane of power from that of normal Cards.  Allowing players to use them may have a high risk of unbalancing the game.)''

A Gun's suit is determined in a similar manner by rolling 1d4.

The following table is used to determine the Gun's Suit.

*1...''Hearts''
*2...''Spades'' 
*3...''Clubs'' 
*4...''Diamonds'' 

Alternately, the Dealer may choose to allow players to choose their own Suit/Number, if they so wish, though this option is at the Dealer's discretion.

A player receives an extra point in whatever suit his gun is connected to. So let's say our example character got the six of clubs. He'd look like this:

'''Desperado'''
*''Spades'': 2 
*''Clubs'': 2+1=3
*''Hearts'': 1 
*''Diamonds'': 2 

A player's Wounds are determined by the suit of his Gun + his Clubs Score. 

So Desperado has 3 Clubs (Gun's Suit) + 3 (Club level) Clubs = 6 Wounds

In addition, each gun has an extra ability to it, which goes beyond the normal sort of things that guns can normally do. See the [[Wild_Cards:_Stories_of_the_World|Stories]] for examples. These abilities must be agreed upon by both the player and the dealer to be valid.
