Greetings Folks,
Here's the story: After completing an adventure last session, my group decided to use last night as a book-keeping session, tallying up magic items, selling for gold, buying new stuff with the gold, etc.
While we were doing this, I picked up the DM's "Deck of Many Things" deck, that Paizo put out, and we were having fun doing "fake" draws on the deck. I was drawing well, so I pleaded with the DM to allow us to have a "real" draw from the deck. He was reluctant, but finally agreed (I had argued that we were a high level party, and hadn't really had any kind of artifact action during the campaign, so why not? How unbalancing could it be).
The party: An 18th level cleric, an 18th level paladin, and a 17th level wizard (me), plus a 16th level druid who wasn't there last night.
The cleric took one draw on the deck. The paladin, staying in character, refused to draw. My greedy wizard, however, opted to take THREE draws on the deck.
My first draw was The Sun (get a medium wonderous item). As a result, I got an onyx dog figurine. My second draw was The Key (get a major magic weapon). From this I got a very powerful magic quarterstaff. On my third draw, I got TALONS, and lost every single solitary magic item that I owned or possessed! Gaaaaaar!
*sigh*. Needless to say, I regretted that third draw.
What about others? Any DoMT stories to share? When did things go well for you? When did they go poorly?
