[QUOTE="TracerBullet42, post: 1350426, member: 11885"] Ok, I could launch into the long, long story about when we used one in a campaign I played in, but I won't. It's rather entertaining, but I just don't feel up to it right now. So here's, what I thought, was the most dramatic use of a draw from the deck. I don't remember what edition we were playing at the time, so the effects of the cards have since changed... First of all, it should be noted that I was playing a chaotic good cleric of Tymora. So my character never doubted that his good luck would prevail... On one pull of a card, I drew the "death" card in which the grim reaper showed up and demanded my soul. In a moment of panic, I drew another card...the wish card. To this day, and it has been many years, I still remember my exact wish. I said, "I wish this "death guy" away from me forever." The group sat silent, stunned at my phrasing. Now, granted, I wasn't after immortality. I just wanted the bad guy to go bye bye, and that's how the words came out of my mouth. So for a long time, I was "immortal". I found out the hard way that it has its bad sides too. Be fatally mauled and surviving is no fun. Choking and surviving is no fun. Eventually, the DM had a dude show up named "Retribution" and he said he would give me my mortality back whether I liked it or not. Now, I'm not sure if I was supposed to resist this or not, but I just said, "Ok." And that was that. I guess that story ended up being pretty long anyway...but there were many, many times that I drew from that deck. And overall, I think I may even have come out ahead. Good times. [/QUOTE]
