## Prose lives in content (blurbs, fragments). NUMBERS LIVE IN CODE. The card reads
## both and repeats neither. A hit die written into a JSON — or typed into a string
## literal here — is a second source of truth, and it will eventually disagree with
## the table. Every number below is read from Callings/Races/Skills at call time, so
## retuning a calling retunes its card.
##
## §7: nothing here may mention Luck, in any form. §2: presentation only.
