New page

Each [[card]] article should contain a <nowiki><card></nowiki> tag showing the card text and properties. It can optionally have a Notes section that contains information about the card and a Related Cards section that links to other cards. Cards can also belong to other categories in addition to this one. For instance, a category of all cards in a specific faction.

For example:
<pre>
<card>Fire Walker (name)
The Circle (faction)
Cost: 5P 1L
Endurance: 7
Attack: 4
Range: 0
Character -- Fighter Human
1L: This gets +1 to attack until end of turn. Use this ability only 2 times per turn.
</card>

{{cardpage|The Circle}}
</pre>

If there are multiple [[cost]]s they should be listed in separate "Cost:" lines. The [[range]], [[cost]], [[attack]], and [[endurance]] should be placed before the type line. The type line should be a [[type]] (Character, Tool, etc) followed by a double-dash ("--") and then the [[subtype]]. All the text after the type line is the [[card text]].

For factionless cards, leave the faction line the card tag blank and but "Factionless" as the argument to <nowiki>{{cardpage|...}}</nowiki>.

+The first two lines in the &lt;card> block are the [[card name]] and the [[faction]] respectively.
