Though the night is dark and full of terrors, there are some brave enough to stand against the Darkness; Heroic Defenders that won't sit idly by and watch their world fall to ruin. When the stakes are highest and the chips are down, these Heroes find a way to dig a little deeper and press on through the horrors arrayed before them. This 15-card supplement adds an all-new deck of Heroic Effort cards to help give Heroes a fighting chance for survival when the odds are stacked against them. Ideal for low-level Heroes, Hero Parties of only 1-2 Heroes, or to help out new Heroes joining an existing party, Heroic Efforts are one-use special ability cards that give Heroes a boost with a fun story moment when they need it most. With two ways to integrate these cards into your adventures, using Up Against the World or Struggle for Survival, Heroic Efforts give Heroes a fighting chance (especially when paired with the dangerous Ruinous Nightmare cards in the Nightmares From Beyond Supplement). -description from the publisher's website
