Core Mechanics Breakdown
Core Fate Cards

Activation: Consume specific dice pips (e.g., one 6-pip die)
Impact: Grants battle-changing skills for one fight only
Customization: Choose 1 of 3 cards per faction pre-run
Support Fate Cards
Role: Fuel Core Fate activation
Mechanic: Low pip cost (e.g., 1-3 pips) → Refunds rarer pips (e.g., spend 2, get 6)
Synergy: Chain reactions enable powerful Core activations
The Dice Economy
Start with two 6-pip dice
Unlock more via shop upgrades
Allocate dice strategically during the Fate Phase (pre-combat minigame)
Fate Phase: Your Tactical Playground
Roll your dice pool (e.g., rolls: 1,2,3,4,5)
