You all get some draws from the deck.

Basically, for those of you who play little or no DnD, the Deck is a minor artifact that bestows good or bad effects.

*has a deck of cards with him, and will randomly choose the card from it for the effect*

Pick a card, any card.

Mhmm, this is to help the DnD boards.

Ryu: Gem. (Two of Hearts)

Fifty precious gems and twenty-five pieces of jewelry appear out of nowhere. You may choose either, but not both.

*puts the card back in the deck*

Sol: Knight. (Jack of hearts)

A knight appears out of thin air, and says: I swear to defend mistress 'till my death! (he is 4th level, and a fighter.)

*puts the card back in the deck*

*shuffles*

*draws*

Otku: Comet. (Two of spades) *shuffle, dammit*

You feel inspired, and the next monster you kill will gain you a level.

*puts the card back and shuffles*

Can I pay you 50 precious gems for another draw?

Playing with a Deck of Many Things is one of the dumbest, most moronic things an adventuring party can do.

Needless to say, most games use 'em up like Pixie Sticks.

Also, there's something you need to know: Red cards are Good, black cards are Bad. If a red card is drawn, it's gone forever after it has its effect. If a black card is drawn, it does the effect, then goes BACK INTO THE DECK! That's right, the more good stuff is used up, the more cursed it is.

I'll take one card.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

According to the DM guide, only Jester and Fool dissapear from the deck, that rule was at your DM's discression.

Either way, you're lucky, Chibi, King of Diamonds, or Sun.

A headband with sigils appears in your hand. (Headband of intellect (+4)) You also feel a lot more experianced. (+50,000XP)

Deth: Comet, (two of diamonds) and Skull. (jack of clubs)

The background noises fade to nothing, and a skeleton in a blacker than black cowled robe with a scythe appears before you.

"COWER NOW, BRIEF MORTAL! FOR I AM DEATH! AGAINST WHOM NO LOCK WILL HOLD NOR FASTEN PORTAL... UM..."

You must defeat Death, or be forever destroyed. and with the comet card, if you do defeat him, you get your next level.

KloKlo: Flames. (Queen of Clubs)
A shimmery version of you, in a red catsuit with horns comes up and slaps you.

Mr. Duck, is in luck: Star. (jack of diamonds)
The lawyer feels a bit more skilled at the ability of his choice. (+2 inherent bonus)
