OK, this is just evil. (SKR is obviously an evil genius).

I'm trying to work out why you'd *ever* draw from it...

Cheers!

I dunno. Looks pretty boring to me. It takes the (admittedly campaign busting) original deck of many things, dulls it down, and reduces everything to mechanics.

When you start a campaign at mid or high level, after everyone comes to the table with their streamlined character builds, make them draw at least one card from the deck.

I'm looking at this deckand I'm loving it.

Not becasue anyone would ever draw from it, but because I run a game wehre taint and wild magic are a big part of the setting, so this would be an excellent way to portray that taint.

Teh character gets some choices, but they also ahve to make some chanes. Add in a few physical effects, and this made my game a lot easier.

But would I draw as a chaaracter? Only if I were insane.

Good work onthe deck though. It is very origional.

I can think of a certian epic gmae I run that would benefit from this idea.
