Couple of ideas for ya, not necessarily all related.- I like the idea of free interpretation for cool factor, but depending on your players it could lead to arguements. What about a list of effects based on the "traditional" tarot interpretations? By this I mean something along the lines of the interpretations printed in little booklets with most rider-waite tarot decks.- What about reversed cards? These could represent "negative" effects.-- (subset of above) you could go with organic draw to determine "favorability"-- or maybe have the dm's roll determine how many cards are treated as reversed-- or go with either of the above and modify based on the players skill check?- Since the "tarot ritual" will be a spell how about multiple versions spread across a couple of spell levels? So that there is a "weak" version, that might work anywhere there is the spiritual presence of a dragon, then a "medium" version that works on ley lines, and a "powerful" version that will work on nexus points.- Are ley lines detectable? or easily detectable? Could the players skill roll represent the characters ability to locate a suitable site for the ritual?- If you don't mind added complexity for little mechanical value (but a whole lot of flavor imho) you could assign different types of requests their own "spreads" of cards. So that say, help with the "harvest to stave off impending famine" has a spread, and so does "help us go beat down the bbbeg who has razed half the country and is prepping to raze the other half"-- Could the players skill roll be used to determine an appropriate spread for the situation at hand? Or maybe to research a new spread?</blockquote>
