Suit Cards

The Ophir suit cards are used to determine various starting aspects of the PC, most importantly stats but also hero points and various bonuses.

After determination of Firstborn, the number of cards of each suit are counted. This determines basic attributes for a character. Additionally all cards have some specific benefit printed on the card face which provide generally favorable but occasionally unfavorable effects. These effects must be used unless they cause a contradiction in which case the highest ranked card must be used (contradictions should only occur, if at all, within a suit so there is no need to determine suit precedence in this case.)
