ArchAngel: Comet and Throne.

The next monster you defeat will get you your next level, and you now are more diplomatic and have a keep.

Fal: Knight, and The Void.

A knight swears loyalty to you, and then your soul is sucked off to another plane.

Malkav: Euryale and Key

You get a -1 penalty to ALL saving throws, and a major magic weapon.

Trent: Moon.

two wishes for j00.

Aani: Vizier.

Know the answer to your next dilemma.

I will draw 2 more cards.
Silently, the unnamed Senshi drew a small jewel-hilted athame from some form of pocket-space, and lightly ran it across the back of her left hand. 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.

Heh. Local gaming legend has it that someone was playing with a DoMT, and lost all their items, then got a wish.

Their wish was, and I quote:

"I want all my shit back!"

Needless to say, he got his wish.

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.

Okay, every single one of my D&D personas has something to say on this...

Drakkenclaw: There are many forces in the world which have sway over existence, and it is folly to toy with any of them.

Blayne: What do you think I am, insane? I don't play with fate. I deliver it.

Pantaloon: Well, this is going to prove a novel experience no matter how it turns out. Though the loincloth thing HAS happened to me before - that crowd had no musical taste whatsoever... Anyway, gimme a card.

Ankle: Throne and Skull.

Diplomacy, and a Keep. At the door of the keep is a skeleton in a black cowled robe, with a scythe. Defeat Death or be forever destroyed.

Suddar: Sun.

You gain 50,000XP and a medium wondrous item.

Trent: Granted.

Your armour and weapons appears in a blacksmith shop somewhere, half forged. your clothes in the market, and your money in other peoples hands, and your property unsold to you and un-built on. Yer still outta money and outta soul. In a loincloth. (you got your wish... items back exactly as they were before you pulled your first card. Wishes are finicky, shoulda listened to Gikk.)

Aani: Sun.

50,000XP and a wonderous item.

Aani has good karma.

Malkav: Key and Euryale.

You gain a major magic weapon, and a -1 penalty to all saving throws.

ArchAngel: Vizier.

Know the answer to your next dilemma.

Otku: Throne.

Keep and diplomacy, you know the deal.

Well, I'm off to my keep where I'll spend my time being a good ruler and use that knowledge of the dilema thing to defeat the big monster that's always around somewhere that's been bothering the keep.

Three wishes, and an outsider hates you.

Batty: Balance.

You feel your motives change.

Wow. That's what I call suitable.

Kalran: Idiot.

You feel your mind slow.

Drakken: Rogue.

You feel a sudden sense of forboding.

Last Strider: Donjon's second victim.

LS is imprisoned on another plane.

Waisz: Throne.

Keep and diplomacy.

GenericGirl: Euryale, Flames, Skull.

-1 penalty to all saving throws, an outsider on your back, and you have to defeat Death or be forever destroyed.

Aani: Rogue.

You feel a sense of forboding.

I wish the outsider to die a horrible, painful and complete death.

I wish for a large keep in which everyone likes me so no hooks attacked kind of thing

I also wish that a large pile of riches appeared in front of me, on the GROUND in handy bags for carrying, not molten, not in pieces just arche-typal riches, no strings attached

I've seen a GM set up several skellies to play poker with a DoMT. Drawing a card and getting the effect is something you have to willingly do, and they have no will. Therefore, it was normal cards to them.

The players didn't know the deck was anything special. Someone messed with the cards.... it was Bad. Very Very Bad.

(Death appeared, and everyone jumped into the fight to help their friend. Time for new characters.)

I find that most problems can be solved by excessive violence.

Jalal: Donjon, baby.

Bars surround Jalal and he's whisked off to another plane, imprisoned.

Trent: Gem.

Your choice of fifty precious gems or twenty five pieces of pricy jewelry. Lucky you, this will help, but you still have no pants.

Ruvyen: Well, actually the worst that can happen is your soul getting sucked out of you, or death fighting you to utter destruction. Either way: The Fates.

Avoid any situation you choose once.

Lyinar: Balance.

You feel your motives change.

Nem-X: Skull.

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