More Ways to Use Randomness - What is the Goal of RNG? - Extra Credits

While a positive random effect can only benefit the player who controls it, there are other varieties of random effects. Negative randomness means the effect can actually be bad for the controlling player - for example, if their card or character (like Ogre Brute) randomly targets the wrong enemy. Where positive random effects needed to be balanced by putting a card below the power curve, negative random effects should be offset by raising a card above the power curve so the player feels like they're getting a reward for risking it.
