Be whoever you want to be as long as you’re also being kind.
Everyone would be disappointed if you didn’t, I feel.

80/20 rule at work.

... Aaaand that's all of them. Hope you enjoyed these and they at least gave you a giggle.

The Tree
You grow strong like a tree. Gain a whole two inches in height.

While your soul is trapped in this way, your body is incapacitated. A wish spell can't restore your soul, but the spell reveals the location of the object that holds it.

Nah, just kidding. I mean, can you imagine?

Instead you gain a Spacious Pouch (Type 1) so you can keep things… in the void!

The Void
This card spells disaster. So we're not sure why it isn't called "disaster" rather than "void".

Your soul is drawn from your body and contained in an object in a place of the DM's choice. One or more powerful beings guard the place.

. How useful that answer will be depends directly on how much you're disrupting the GMs carefully laid plans, so use it wisely.

The fates have granted you a free question.

At any time you choose within one year of drawing this card, you can spend 10 minutes in meditation to ask a question of the fates and mentally receive a truthful answer to that question

Till then you can at least justify calling yourself a Lord or Lady now. Gain +1 on society checks to impress nobility.
November 27, 2025 at 10:11 AM
Throne
You gain a writ of ownership to a small keep somewhere in the long lands. Looks like a side quest waiting to happen. If you ever manage to find it, clear it out of monsters, spend ages upgrading it, and take it over, it'll probably get you a title and maybe a buff somewhere along the line.

Finally, for the next 24 hours gain the might claws of the Vorox. Unarmed or claw attacks do an extra 1d4 poison damage during this time.

Talons
You gain 4 talons, worth a firebird in total. Unfortunately you can only spend these in a different campaign setting so they're totally useless.

Gain Lore (Jump Key Technology). Again. Totally useless.

Sun
You gain a pair of Sun Goggles which appear in your hands. Dang, you look snazzy in them. Gain a +1 bonus to diplomacy or perform checks to impress someone whilst wearing your snazzy sungoggles.
November 27, 2025 at 10:11 AM
Star
You are a bright shining star!

For the next 24 hours gain a +1 luck bonus on all d20 rolls. However, you also shine like a star, giving you -5 on all stealth checks. You also generate bright light within 5 foot of you.
November 27, 2025 at 10:11 AM
It appears in a space of the DM's choice within 10 feet of you and squeaks at you alot. It follows you around for 24 hours squeaking all the time. You suffer -5 on stealth checks during this time. At the end of this period the Death of Rats vanishes, leaving 2 gold pieces behind, which you take.
November 27, 2025 at 10:11 AM
Death
Oh you've picked the bad one!

You summon an avatar of death -a ghostly rat-folk skeleton clad in a tattered black robe and carrying a spectral scythe. (Don't pretend you don't get the reference).
November 27, 2025 at 10:11 AM
Ruin
All your gold vanishes!

On the plus side, pick a player. By sheer coincidence they gain that much gold. Must be magic, right? It's not like they'd steal from you.
November 27, 2025 at 10:11 AM
Of course, there's around 7 billion people in the world so odds are good you're never going to meet them. Roll a D7billion. On a roll of a 1 they turn up and attack you. On any other roll, count your lucky stars and gain a hero point.
November 27, 2025 at 10:11 AM
Rogue
A nonplayer character of the DM's choice now hates you and wants you dead. You can just feel the hatred radiating across the miles.
