Half the fun of creating these cards is making up Pictures and Flavors to go
with the card. I am glad people are enjoying my creations.

Yeah I know but I already had the picture and flavor in my mind so I had to
add it to something thus the card. They [picture and flavor] can probably be
used with a better idea.

Yeah it takes half of whatever body the runner has for ex. Skitz is a 3/4
runner in the event that he is the random runner he would take 2 pts. of
damage (b/c he has stamina) and he would lose the stamina ability until the
end of the player' turn.

The reasons why I made it really high are two fold 1)This challenge is lot
easier for a mage/shaman deck to get by, why should bruisers get all the
breaks! 2)The Cherokee people are relatively peaceful and have extremely
strong ties to the spirit world or the magic within the land. It would make
it difficult to others who believe in violence as a means to end to
understand this magic ex. bruisers.

The runner would still have to heal to get rid of the leech tokens (they
work much the same way virus tokens work).
