View source for Book:Trumps

The dazzling powers belonging to the hero of legend and the sinister abilities possessed by the villain of whispered rumors are represented in the Elysium game by '''Trumps'''. Trumps are extraordinary talents and properties that a character can attain either at character creation or as the game progresses.

Trumps can be purchased like Skills for a certain number of Expoints.  Instead of a set number, each Trump lists its own cost. For example, the ''Trivia Whiz'' Trump costs four Expoints.

A character has no limit on the number of Trumps he or she can possess; the only limit is the number of Expoints earned during the game. Listed below are the Trumps available for purchase.
