Finally, pile name problem solved.

God damn mountain dew, I have work in 5 hours and here I am...

Anyway, here's the newest idea I had for the discard piles.

There are 3 piles, the character discard, item discard, and doom piles.

Doom pile is the new erase pile, same mechanics but with a more fitting name. If all of your characters end up in it, you lose right? Sounds like people will have less trouble with it. Doom is also a Final Fantasy spell, so it's slighty thematic. So you can discard a character, and you can doom a character, easy.

Other then that, there are the 2 discard piles. The new difference is that instead of having the doom equivilent of an item discard pile, at the end of every battle, the discarded item cards will go to the bottom of the item deck.
