Card Design
From The Dim Future Wiki
These are some guide lines for creating new cards.
These are still very preliminary.
Standard Effect Costs
| 1 Energy | 1 Damage |
| 2 Energy | Heal 1 Endurance |
| Draw 1 Card | |
| Drain 1 Energy from a Leader | |
| 3 Energy | Force a player to discard 1 card |
| Drain a permanent | |
| 4 Energy | Destroy an Installation or Tool |
| 5 Energy | Destroy a Permanent (not including Areas) |
Calibration Values
- 1 Damage = The amount of damage a normal everyday person can do in hand to hand, unarmed combat.
- 1 Endurance = One damage will kill it.
- 2 Energy per turn = Enough energy to keep a character functioning. So a basic character would cost (attack + 2) energy.
For energy equivalences see #Standard Effect Costs.
Note: This page needs to be updated to reflect changes in the game or need to be worked on for other reasons.
