One wish? Sweet, I wish to never ever draw a card that would effect me in a directly negative way again!

After that is said and done, Ill draw 5 cards, because nothing can hurt me now, tee hee hee

Except it should have been "affect me", so your wish is moot.

I'll take the Jester...no wait..that would be bad...I'll take the card 5th from the bottom if the deck is cut, then shuffled sideways three times, then randomly shuffled in the traditional poker style, and cut into thirds, then placed back in the order of 3 1 2. But if it is put back in the order of 2 3 1 I will take the 23rd card down. But if you skip the traditional poker phase and just set the deck down I will take the 42nd card from the 2nd card down.
I don't discriminate...I hate everyone.

ah, but ECP, you forgot to say which perspective the card is negative from.

after all, your once-friend may think it very negative if your life is positively affected by a deck of cards, yes?

All lost, loincloth gained.

Death o' Rats: Key, Skull, Throne, Skull.

Major magic weapon, small keep, 6 ranks in diplomacy, and two Deaths to fight or be forever destroyed.

All magic items snatched away, A friend turns against you, your mind slows, you get a keep, six ranks in diplomacy, and a +2 bonus to one ability.

UBT: Moon, Balance, The Void, Moon.

Motives change, 6 wishes, and soul sucked out.

Archon: Donjon, Gem, Flames.

Waisz: The Fates.

Avoid one situation.

Ruvyen: Flames, Rogue, Vizier, Throne, Ruin.

Hatred of outsider and a friend, know the answer to next dilemma, get 6 ranks in diplomacy, and a keep, which is then disintegrated along with everything you own.

Razor: Idiot, The Fates.

Mind slows, and you can avoid one situation.

*papercut*

Moogle: The Void, Moon, Comet, Idiot, Knight.

Soul suck, two wishes, defeat next monster for next level, mind slow, 4th level fighter.

Janus: Balance.

Your motives change.

Ceik: Gem.

25 pieces of jewellry, or 50 gems.

OP: Vizier, Donjon, Flames, Moon.

One wish, One answer, one hateful outsider, one capsule beneath the earth with you stuck in.

ECP: Granted.

You are rendered incapable of drawing any cards of any kind, for the possibility that they may harm you.

Nekralt: There are 20 cards. Originally 22, but now 20.

But have a card. Knight.

Faithful 4th level fighter.

Commie Nwist: You draw em all 'cept for The Fates. Heh.

Marchin order of effects.

Morbid: Comet.

That boring next level if monster defeated card.

Donjon tasted surprisingly like cool ranch doritos.

Are you sure this won't have any adverse affects, like my stomach gaining consciousness or something?

Hmm... If I recall correctly, I have two Viziers (One from ye olde DoMT pages, one now, too lazy to check.)

Anywho, I'm only using one to get the answer to this dilemma: My body is imrisoned in another plane (got Donjon) and my soul is in another plane seperate from my body (The Void). How do I get my now-equipmentless body back to the Prime Material plane, with my soul IN my body, all done in a way that's physically possible for me to do, and that will take no longer than 30 minutes on the Prime Material Plane?
