Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 3446267" data-attributes="member: 29014">(OOC: Forgot to apply the mods? Ah, in that case, good thing he drew that card--now his stats are right <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> )(OOC: Yup, this deck of many things amuses me.  The one in the DMG bores me with its ham-fisted heavy-handed effects.  I think Vanitri is a shoe-in to draw cards, but I'll wait for Bront to return so that I can't be blamed if he draws something bad.  Meanwhile, I'll have Laynie draw)*Laynie decides to follow Tenebrynn's (and likely Vanitri's) example and draw from the deck, choosing four cards.  She receives the following:A powerful Sorceress stands on a table on which are various articles: swords, wands, pentacles, cups, dice, balls, bells, and others.  One hand holds a double-ended wand pointed towards the Heavens and the other hand points towards the Earth.  Over her head is a lemniscate curve, the symbol of eternity and infinity.  The table, which resembles an altar, is surrounded by growing things.The crowned Queen of Wands sits on her throne, a wand in her hand, a black cat familiar at her feet.  She is fair blonde with pale blue eyes.  The card is reversedA master artist carving pentacles in stonework is regarded approvingly by two robed figures, one of whom holds a set of plans from which the crafter has been working.A winged supernatural being hovers over a man a woman, two lovers, behind each of whom flourishes a different tree.  The man looks at the woman, but she, though open to him, looks up at the supernatural messenger.(OOC: Effects--1st card Laynie gains 2 Int (as if she needed more!).  The second card indicates an enemy soon to be encountered.  The fact that this description (which I took directly off the card) is an excellent description of pretty much any important enemy that would be in this tower is highly ironic.  The third gives her a % bonus on earned XP and a 'promotion' in an 'organisation', if she is a member (becoming a student at the Academy works for this one I guess).  The fourth gives her bonus Charisma based on her Int / 6, rounded down and an additional circumstance bonus to all Charisma-based checks against anyone to whom she would be romantically inclined.  In this case, the bonus is 3--I always laugh when someone draws that card because I had a player in a FtF game who ALWAYS drew it, much to his chagrin of his uncharismatic Barbarian (who quickly became a charismatic Barbarian) .)</blockquote>
