Very Hot Cocoa

Very Hot Cocoa

Ancient

Start each combat with an additional 4.

On the first turn of every combat you gain 4 Energy at the side-turn start, on top of the 3 every character begins with, so turn 1 opens at 7. Later turns get nothing; the code checks that the turn number is 1. In multiplayer it fires only on your own side.
