Jitters Next Advance, Part II

Post by Jitters »

So I am having trouble figuring out which edge I should take next, because the two options I am torn between are such good options

The two edges I am torn between: Frenzy and Elan

Give me your thoughts and opinions on them, please.

Contact
Your hero sees an old friend or acquaintance who might help him in his current quest somehow. Of course, he may also ask for a favor in return.
Enemy
Play at the beginning of the game session. A villain of the GM's choice becomes your character's sworn enemy and you may not soak wounds caused directly by him. Starting Now, you draw an extra Adventure Card each game session until the enemy is "retired".
Better You Than Me
Play when your hero has been hit by an attack and there is an adjacent character. The other character suffers the attack instead. This may be played on friend or foe.

Since your character concept is melee focused, I voted Frenzy. You can't go wrong with Elan, though. But it's more generally awesome for anyone. But I always focus character concept first.
