Re: Aces High or the World after tomorrow?

[Abrigon Gusiq]

Define useless? Some might seem to be useless but never know.

I could see how

Heart - spirit or heart related ablties such as telepathy or
ego.
Diamonds - physical toughness or maybe mental as well?
Spades as it came from swords, could be sharp powers, or weapons
that cleave or beam weapons or ..
Clubs as it says is clubs, brute powers..

Possible applications in a CN-ELF earth, where you have powes to
resist?

Aces had useful power(s)
Duces had useless power(s)
Jokers those that were really mutated, usually with wild
defects.
'Drawing the black queen,' likely spades,
ment death via changing viris.

At least from book 1.
