Hand of Fate (Luck Point Option for Deadlands)

The following is a Luck Point Option for Deadlands-Style Settings called Hand of Fate.

All Players get to Draw a Free Hand of Fate at the start of each Game Session.  
After that, it can be Drawn with Luck Points as outlined below -

Basically, one can elect to spend a Luck Point to draw a Hand of Fate at any time, from a regular deck of playing cards with all 52 cards plus the two jokers.

The Hand of Fate consists of a 5 Card Stud Draw - the effects of which are determined by the best poker hand that can be made from the five cards.  In some cases, a hand can also be made from a total of 7 or even 9 cards (see below).

The value of the cards and hands are as follows -

Poker Chips
Once a hand and effect have been determined, the card (or cards) need to be shuffled back into the deck for other draws later.  Because of this, effects can be marked on poker chips to be held until used.
