[QUOTE="SabreCat, post: 5162160, member: 76245"] Thanks P1NBACK! Along those very lines, I recently introduced a number of new cards into the deck, based on the suggestions from this thread--notably, Eric Finley's. The following cards all have basically this text: [INDENT]Play this card when called upon to make a(n) _____ skill check. You fail the check without rolling, but get to narrate the consequences of your failure. Gain Monster XP, + Minion XP for entertaining description or landing yourself/the party in deeper trouble.[/INDENT] The titles I came up with: [b]Like a Cat, I Always Land on My--Face[/b] (Acrobatics) [b]Clatto Verata Necktie[/b] (Arcana) [b]I Think I Sprained Something[/b] (Athletics) [b]We're All Fine Here Now, Thank You[/b] (Bluff) [b]Ich Bin Ein Berliner[/b] (Diplomacy) [b]Was It Two Lefts and a Right, or Two Rights and a Left?[/b] (Dungeoneering) [b]Cough, Hack, Wheeze[/b] (Endurance) [b]Is That a Spleen?[/b] (Heal) [b]His Face is on the Electrum Piece, I Think[/b] (History) [b]Aww, He's All Right, We Can Trust Him[/b] (Insight) [SIZE="1"][b]rawr[/b][/SIZE] (Intimidate) [b]Only Made Tenderfoot, Sorry[/b] (Nature)... I totally had a better name for this, but didn't write it down, and forgot :( [b]Eyes Shut, In Case of Medusae![/b] (Perception) [b]Don't Mind Me, Just Killing This Cow[/b] (Religion) [b]WHAT? Did You Say BE QUIET?[/b] (Stealth) [b]Whazzup, Home Fries?[/b] (Streetwise) [b]Butter Fingers[/b] (Thievery) One of my players also supplied this idea: [b]Once More, With Feeling[/b] [INDENT]Play this card when hit by an attack. Narrate a cunning evasion and turn that hit into a miss. Gain Minion XP, or Monster XP if you grant the attacker another standard action to try again "with feeling this time!"[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
