Some gameworlds have the option of granting superhuman abilities to characters -usually with a magical, mystical, technological, psionic, racial, or mutant origin. Dice are rolled to determine the outcome of character actions and interactions in the game. Usually a trait die is rolled against a target number of four. If the roll equals or exceeds the target number, the action succeeds; otherwise it fails.
If a player rolls the highest number possible on a given die such as an 8 on an eight-sided die , the die may be re-rolled and its result added to the initial roll.
This is known as 'Acing'. A die may continue to Ace as long as the highest die number is rolled. Player characters and significant non-player characters are known as 'Wild Cards'. Wild Cards get to roll a second die, known as a 'Wild Die', alongside their trait rolls.
This roll may Ace as normal. The player of the Wild Card uses the higher of the two rolls trait die or Wild Die to determine the actual result of the roll. In addition Wild Cards also receive a number of Bennies Slang for benefits, also called poker chips in Dead Lands per session. These can be traded in to reduce or negate damage from a given attack, or to reroll a trait die, and are used as rewards for good play. Combat initiative is determined by a standard deck of playing cards with two jokers ; characters act in sequence according to the fall of the cards from highest to lowest.
Ties are broken by suit in order from best to worst, spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs. Jokers beat all other cards and additionally give bonuses on rolls made in the round one receives them. The deck is shuffled at the end of every round in which a joker was dealt. Any player that receives a Joker during initiative may take his action at any time during the round.
