Real power is in the heart. A Klingon does not run away from his battles. If an opponent attacks you, during that battle your Klingons with Honor add INTEGRITY to STRENGTH. (Not cumulative.) ---- [[Marc Okrand in private messages on Facebook]] Zrajm C Akfohg: Did you have anything to do with the translation of the Decipher Inc. playing cards? Marc Okrand (May 16, 2013): The honest and real answer is: I don't know. I don't remember doing those cards, but I may have. I looked around to see if I had any evidence of doing them (like a contract!), but couldn't find anything. Which doesn't mean a thing. Sorry I can't be more definitive. [[eof]]
