MOD CONTENT:
-
[]Find 3 variants of the deck, one in each act: Tarnished (Rare), Incomplete (Very Rare), and Complete (Legendary)
[
]Tarnished and Incomplete both have 13 cards (though 8 of them are damaged in the Tarnished deck) and the complete deck has all 22 cards.[]Effects can range from summoning an angry devil, to acquiring a rare and valuable gem, or getting a unique buff or malady until the next long rest.
[]Cards are unweighted. Meaning they all have the same chance of being pulled.
[]Spice up your next Honour or Iron-Mode run!
[]See the spoiler below for a list of all the possible effects.
[]An optional file is available that adds the decks to the tutorial chest.
HOW IT WORKS:
After acquiring one of the decks, right click it and choose "Draw Card". You will draw one of the cards and its spell will take effect immediately. Afterward, you will receive a condition which prevents you from drawing again until the next long rest.
Each character in the party can draw a single card each day.
Due to how the effects form the sourcebook are and how disruptive or downright impossible their "true" implementation would be, I've taken heavy liberties in how I've made the effects. My logic was to make them effects that won't drastically change the game but are still interesting and can be repeated.
POSSIBLE EFFECTS:
I've spoiled these in case you want to experience finding them out for yourself.
[]Balance*: Simulates a free long rest.
[]Comet*: Your next weapon attack does an extra 10d10 Force damage.
[]Donjon*: You are imprisoned in a stasis until the next long rest. Cannot be dispelled.
[]Euryale: Receive Cursed: Dread until the next long rest. Can be dispelled.
[]Fates: Receive a Mindflayer Tadpole Specimen.
[]Flames: Summons a hostile level 10 Cambion.
[]Fool*: -2 to Spell Save DC and Attack until next long rest.
[]Gem*: Acquire the Perfect Illimited Blood Diamond, worth 50,000 gold. Good luck finding a buyer.
[]Idiot*: All abilities are reduced by 2 until next long rest.
[]Jester*: +2 to
