The Bandwidth System
Replace Life Points with Bandwidth — your capacity to act, respond, and maintain operational coherence. Track both Displayed and Actual Bandwidth. They are never the same number. The game is managing the gap.
◈
The Bandwidth Fragmentation
Fragmented Bandwidth still exists. Still counts toward your total. Cannot be used or referenced. It is, basically, allocated but unavailable. If Fragmentation exceeds 2000, all Tool Cards begin misfiring automatically.

The Meeting Phase
A new turn step before Battle Phase. Each player may activate one Discussion effect. If more than two activate, both players discard 1 card. Flavor ruling: "This meeting could have been avoided."

The Unintended Use
Cards with this keyword may be activated outside their intended parameters. Effects are unpredictable but cannot be negated by Documentation Check. The system wasn't built for this. It does it anyway.
