You can get more than 5 cards with unholy reflexes right?

[Lord Ben]

What other powers can? Supernatural Quickness?

[Fuzyfeet]

Unless it states otherwise, the max number of action cards a player can get is 5. I can't remember off the top of my head, but I believe there is a Hex and the Templar power, Celerity, that say you can have up to 6 cards from using those powers.

Supernatural Trait (Quickness) wouldn't let you get more cards, but the way Unholly Reflexes works, I'm not so sure. It doesn't say you get a larger hand, just more draws.

I seem to remember from somewhere that the way it works is that you cannot have more than 5 cards without supernatural aid. Supernatural aid (Celerity greater reward, Unholy Reflexes, etc) can give you more than five cards, but a mortal non-magical human is limited to 5.

How accurate that is, I don't know, but that's what I remember. It's how I play things, anyway.

I believe the five action card limitation first appeared in Hell On Earth and then was later adopted into the Deadlands: the Weird West Player's Guide.

Supernatural abilities (in Hell On Earth) that broke the 5 card cap typically listed this within the description (like Celerity).

Unholy Reflexes appeared in the Book O' The Dead (for Weird West) but was never brought forward into Wasted West's Cyborgs (and consequently never adjusted for the new rules). The Player's Guide was very near the end of Classic's run and never addressed the issue.

Thinking about it I find it likely that Unholy Reflexes does allow the character to break the 5-card limit.

Unholy Reflexes does give additional cards and can break the 5 card limit (which Supernatural Quickness would not). As noted in the other thread, it doesn't cost any actions, so it's effectively always on.

Level 1 = +1 card
Level 3 = +2 cards
Level 5 = +3 cards

Clint: working under the assumption that Harrowed powers are a sin (which is how I treat things - Major Sin, specifically, for using most powers except Supernatural Trait, and Mortal Sin for corpse-raising and other deadly and wicked stuff), would it be possible for a Blessed to voluntarily turn Unholy Reflexes off?

You know, just curious.

I see it as one of those generic powers since everyones personality is to do as much in as short a time as possible when they're fighting some servant of the reckoners.
