Draft:Shiren 5 2020:Talisman

Talismans (Japanese: 札) are usable items that appears in Shiren the Wanderer 5 and 5 Plus. There are thirteen variants of them in total.

Summary

Talismans are magic projectiles. Like all other items except Stones, you can throw or shoot them 10 tiles. Like all thrown items, they miss about 10% - 25% of the time under normal circumstances. If they hit, they affect all creatures except the player in a 3x3 area around the target. Talismans cannot be blessed, cursed, or sealed, and they are stackable up to a maximum of 99 copies. Talismans are always found in stacks of 2-4 normally. All talismans share the same price, but any talisman can be uniquely identified with a single use.
