RETURN TO RESTLESS RULES

You walked into an old house on a cliffside. The doors were gone and the wind swept through the rooms. Rust red leaves clotted the corners and desiccated vines crawled in through the windows and vanished in the darkness. There was a chest in the far corner. Inside, you found an old deck of cards that resembled those made by the bedlamites during the first infertility war. They felt heavy in your hands. As you shuffled them, your vision narrowed. A pit deepened in your gut. You felt something transfer from the cards to your hands. Something permanent.

From then on, everything around you has gotten worse.

For the duration of the game, add +1 to the Die Defense of all Targets. Increase the Die Defense of all Traitor Gods by 1, and extend the spread of their last (or only) attack listed on their card to include the updated number.

You must consult the tarot cards at the start of every Realm, including the first one. You may optionally consult them while Resting or while visiting a Trader.

To consult the tarot, four health must be paid, split among the party as decided. All Characters can take one damage, or individual Characters can pass while others take more in their place. Any Characters who do not take damage in this manner cannot receive the drawn tarot card, and global benefits from group blessing cards do not extend to them.

Once health is paid, reveal four tarot cards. Keep one and set the others aside.

OMENIST: Add 1 to the total number of revealed cards.

This expansion adds new terms:

Blessing: A weightless, permanent effect attached to a single Character. It can be discarded if desired. Any player can have any number of blessings.

Resource Pool: A shared pool of resources that can be used by any Character and must be discarded when exhausted.

Group Blessing: A weightless, permanent effect shared by the entire party. It can be discarded if desired. Any player can have any number of blessings.

Round of Turns: Refers to the event in which all Characters have taken a turn.
