Message: <blockquote data-quote="TracerBullet42" data-source="post: 2714184" data-attributes="member: 11885">Well, it's been a while, so the details may be a bit sketchy, but here goes...Davitt Luckbringer was a halfling priest of Tymora despite the fact that everyone in the group was pretty convinced he was a thief.  Something about always being the first to the loot and whatnot...Anyway, one day in his race to the loot, he finds a deck of cards.  It is identified as a deck of many things and is known to have great and terrible powers.  (It is important to note that Tymora was a goddess of luck and Davitt was always taking chances with the understanding that Tymora favored him, and therefore luck would be on his side.)Despite the groups requests to leave the cards be, Davitt decided to draw from the deck.  I believe the first draw was the card that raised your primary attribute up a couple points.  Being satisfied with that result, Davitt draws again.  This time, it is the "wish" card.  Armed with three wishes, Davitt tries to help out the group by using a wish to summon a high priest that the group needs to find.It is at this point that Davitt discovers how very specific one must be when making wishes.  Having not given a good enough description, some other priest was summoned via the wish.  Davitt then used the second wish to send this fellow back to where he came from, and then used the third, and final, wish to summon the correct priest.  (Nice use of three wishes, eh?)Out of wishes, Davitt decides to draw from the deck again.  Suddenly, he has a keep!  It seems that luck truly is favoring him this day...Until the next draw...A poof a smoke and "Death" appears before Davitt, declaring that he has come for Davitt's soul.   A panicky Davitt did the only thing that he could think of...draw another card.3 MORE WISHES!Meanwhile, "Death" is closing in on Davitt and as Davitt runs from it he makes his next wish...words that I'll never forget."I wish this 'Death Guy' away from me forever!".....Just let that sink in for a moment.It wasn't planned, that's just how it came out.So with a "poof" of smoke, the "Death" disappeared.It is at this point that I, the player, looked around the table and saw the rest of the players staring at me...mouths agape.We carried on, not sure of what the ramifications to Davitt might be.  Ultimately, he went on to survive being mauled and drowned by sea lions, cut his way out of a bag of holding when the group thought he was dead, and eventually offer his "immortality" back up without so much as a fight when something named "Retribution" asked for it back.Fun character...good times.Oh, and it was probably 2nd edition, for whatever that's worth.</blockquote>
