Message: <blockquote data-quote="Look_a_Unicorn" data-source="post: 1349503" data-attributes="member: 11886">Our "best" DM allowed a Deck to fall into our laps. Much tenseness as most players decided to draw a few cards...One character, Tara was Imprisoned (and the party "leader" is still trying to discover what happened to her soul.)The party leader gained an extraplanar enemy, lost all his gear (ie all the party wealth as he's the Lord of the area), then got it back again- OOG the extraplanar enemy is the one that has imprisoned Tara.Two other characters got minor items & richesOne player lost all his gear, but he didn't have much to begin with...And one player gained 100,000XP in total, boosting him to 17th level when the rest of us were 12 or so. As a straight Sorcerer he became a powerhouse, capable of annihilating the strongest foes we encountered & making the rest of the party's efforts far less relevant (despite the DM's efforts to modify encounters so we'd all have something to do). That player then got really really cocky & eventually got himself captured by some Draconian Liches when the rest of the party fled. Now, unknown to the other characters, he is the lich's lackey masquerading as the same ally he's always been (now NPC'd)So fairly major changes resulted, the campaign was heavily disrupted but the DM skillfully maneuvered it back on track without stepping on toes. And that was with a "lucky" set of results.A worse set of draws, or a less experienced DM would have meant disaster for the campaign!</blockquote>
