It has all the combat maneuver type effects, as well as some crazy powerful benefits. It's very swingy, and gives the player relatively little control; you can't declare you're trying to use the effects, you just hope they happen. It's also very limited. You might be able to remember it, but to have a really good table you'd need to add more elements. So I think it's okay for DA but not at all for D&D.And I would never, ever use any kind of deck for anything in D&D (except a deck of many things or if we were simulating an actual card game). The game is played with your character sheet, dice, and a writing utensil, and presumably books for reference that hopefully you don't need to reference. Some might use these kinds of decks, but I would vehemently oppose having to pay more, carry more, and put up with the distraction.For critical hits, I think it's very important that it be immediately obvious to everyone. Spells may need reference, but people playing fighters want that instant gratification without the bookkeeping.</blockquote>
