stevenehrbarthis bit of fiction.
Let's note that the most dangerous (Angelic, at least) In Nomine poker player ever devised would be an Elohite of Trade, with the Seraph of Trade, Malakite of Trade, and Elohite of War attunements.
Such an angel would be able to look a person in the eye and know how much that person would pay for something (like, say, to stay in the game) (Seraph of Trade), what his cards mean to him (Malakite of Trade), and how much he's willing to risk (War).
Assuming the game's on the Ethereal, add Elohite of Dreams and six Ethereal Forces. This angel would automatically succeed on a resonance roll that gives it the emotional state of an individual, the two strongest emotions the individual has and reason for those emotions, and the reaction of the individual to any two actions of the Elohite's choice. (Elohite of Yves and six Celestial Forces would have the same effect on anyone the Elohite touched, but I figure it's likely that in a game with such, the emotions that would come through would be related to being upset that the angel touched him to try to read him.)
Oh, and if it were objectively important enough to win, and you're using the perverting Resonance rules, then this Elohite can inflict emotions on you to make you despair at your four aces or overconfident in your 7,5,4,3,2 hand.
