Fal: Gem. (Two of hearts)

A choice appears before you:
A pile of fifty large precious gems, or twenty-five pieces of exquisite jewelry.

Mebbe not. There you go.

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

I think you mean one other deck, we have Many Things and Illusion is the second but in DnD that is all... in Hackmaster there is a third deck though, Deck of Wonderous things, it is just a much a mixed blessing and the deck of many things though.

Good, she wasn't one of those fools that slashed their palm open whenever one of the various reasons to use blood arose. I did the same with my own vorpal-bladed athame. It was a much plainer affair than my counterpart's, but I bet hers couldn't call up a higher-level demon just by carving a smiley face in the ground.

Xyrra: The Fates. (Ace of hearts)

You may avoid any situation once

Fresch: Idiot. (Ace of Clubs)

You feel your mind slow, (permanent INT drain) and get the urge to draw again.

Jalal: Key. (Queen of hearts)

A fiery sword appears in your hand, and a voice in your head tells you to destroy all evil...

Bloodcookie: Flames. (Queen of Clubs)

A creature that appears to be made out of blood and cookies appears before you.

"Oooh! I protest to this treatment! Ah hate you."

Sentow: Euryale. (Queen of Spades)

You feel your tolerance fall. The air suddenly feels harder against you. (-1 penalty to ALL saving throws henceforth.)

KloKlo: The Flames card causes you into an emnity between yourself and an outsider, which continues untill either your, or the outsider's death.

RIG: The Fool. (Joker)

You suddenly feel a lot less skilled, (-10,000XP) and have an unfightable urge to draw again:

*discards the other Joker.*

RIG: Vizier. (Ace of Diamonds)

You suddenly know all the answers. (You know how to solve your next dilemma.

Arrenn: Moon. (Queen of Diamonds)

You get three wishes.

Synny: Throne. (King of Hearts)

You feel much more tactful, and hear a thundering noise behind you, as your very own keep grows into existance behind you. (Gain six ranks in diplomacy, and a small keep.)

Mort: Skull. (Jack of Clubs)

Death appears before you. You must defeat him or be forever destroyed.

Karma?

Trent: Ruin. (King of Spades)

Loincloth and nothing else for j00.

Vorbis: "The Get a free, unavoidable draw" card. I was unaware of this one.

Vorbis: Donjon, bud. (Ace of spades)

Magical bars spring around you, blocking you, then you, and the bars vanish.

(Imprisoned in a plane a fair way away from Prime Material)

ElvishCrackPiper: Okay. But that is dangerous.
The Void, Euryale, Key, Knight, Ruin.

You lose your soul to another plane, then your body has -1 to all saving throws, then your body gains a major magic weapon, then a Knight swears service to you, then you lose all property and wealth, including the knight and weapon.

Timpofee: Possibly.
Talons. (Two of Clubs)

All magic items you have are snatched away, and never seen again.

Yep.

Lazzy: Throne. (King of hearts)

A keep pops into existance behind you, and you feel more tactful.

Malbi: Knight. (Jack of hearts)

A fourth level knight pops into existance and swears to serve you.

Elethi: You draw the Jack of Diamonds.

Nothing happens.

Kin: Vizier and Comet.

You know the answer to your next dilemma and can defeat the next monster for your next level.

Aani: Moon.

Four wishes for you.

Elethi: Balance.

You feel a sudden change of motive. (Instant radical change in alignment.)

Jalal: Star, Flames, and Sun.

You gain a +2 bonus to one ability, the emnity of an outsider that lasts 'till death, and 50,000XP, and a medium wondrous item.

And BloodCookie, no, that's not your own golem, that's an outsider about to try and kill you.

Nope, there's a Tarot Deck of Many Things.

I forgot about that one, it has been a while since I read my Encyclopedia Magica. but there in a Deck of Wonderous Things in Hackmaster and it can effect different things, sometimes raising a stat to 18 instantly, with a +1 if you are at of above 18 currently.
