Introduction

How the Cards Work

No other item can bring both hope and fear

at such levels as this deck. Some fear it, some love it
but all must respect it ability to forever alter their life
and the lives of their companions.
Many a night has been spent simply drawing
from the deck rather than attempting to complete a
mighty quest. Many a characters have lost themselves
to the deck. Many a terrors have been unleashed unto
the world from the deck. And yet, many a wonders
have been found thanks to the deck.
This supplement is about the Deck of
Many Things, variant decks and variant rules to use
with them. This supplement is broken into several
sections:
The Decks Explanations on how the decks
works, the rules necessary to use any of the
various decks and variant decks with unique
cards and characteristics
Card Effects Each card listed with its full
effects and explanations
SRD Deck The SRD Deck of Many
Things
Cards Separate le for use, designed to be
printed the size of normal playing cards
Why use these decks? For a change, a break
form the usual, to start an adventure, or simply for
excitement. Have power gamers or munchkins, give
them the Deck of Many Woes. Want to reward your
players, give them the Deck of Many Wonders. Want
to through in some chaos, let your group nd the
Mad Deck of Abrimilan.

Most decks operate in the same manner

though. Each card imparts to the drawer some
knowledge through mystical means. Even cards
that bestow negative effects, the knowledge gained
is either confusing or misleading. Some cards will
impart their knowledge to someone or something
other than the drawer; as in the example of Enmity
between you and an outer planar creature, the
outer planar creature receives some information that
forces it to believe that the character is now a mortal
enemy.
This knowledge is transferred to the character
as soon as they draw the card. Drawing the card is
dened as separating a single card from the rest of
the deck. It matters not if the character ever looks
upon the card or if they return it to the deck.
With the exception of cards which specically
create physical items and effects, all effects toward
the character transpire in the mind of the character.
No other character can intervene in the transfer of
this knowledge either for the characters benet or
for their woe. Afterwards, the characters may then
discuss what had transpired and actions may be taken
then; just not during the drawing of the card.

The Dreaded Decks

A deck of many things (both benecial and
baneful) is usually found in a box or leather pouch.
Each deck contains a number of cards or plaques
made of ivory or vellum. Each is engraved with
glyphs, characters, and sigils. As soon as one of these
cards is drawn from the pack, its magic is bestowed
upon the person who drew it, for better or worse.
Why or how these decks are constructed is
only known to those powerful wizards who construct
them. Most believe these decks are created out of
spite and malicious from mages who have long since
gone mad. What is known, however, is that no two
decks are alike; some contain only a few cards, some
many, some bring more joy than pain, others the
opposite.

Game Mechanics
There really isnt much mechanics to using
any of these Decks. There are two methods of
drawing; dice roll and drawing of cards (included
in a separate le).
When using the dice roll method, use
percentiles (D100) and consult the Card Effects
section to determine what effect to apply to the
drawer.
Note: if using percentiles to determine effects, any
dice roll (except cocked dice), even if it rolls off
the table, or is an accidental roll, should count as
drawn cards.
When using the drawing of cards method,
use the included le to create your decks and then
draw cards. The included le of cards is designed
to print on perforated business card paper; however,
you can us regular paper and cut them out.
Note: if playing with an actual deck, cards that
accidentally separate themselves from the deck,
through shufing and such, should count as drawn
cards.

When drawing (regardless of method),

alternate drawing a single card between each person
who desires a draw. This will both help speed up
the game and not cause anyone to get bored. Each
character may decide individually when they wish to
stop drawing.
Unless otherwise noted:
All cards only affect the drawer of the card.
All effects are permanent.
All effects are mandatory.
All effects take place immediately upon
drawing the card.
Most of the time there are no restrictions on
when and where characters may draw from the deck.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to apply restrictions
in order to keep harmony within the party and in
helping to keep game play from bogging down.
Alternate restrictions to apply to the drawing
of cards:
Everyone or no one in the party must draw.
No one can stop drawing unless the entire
party wishes to stop.
Everyone must draw X cards each time they
draw (especially nasty when used with the
Deck of Greed).
After everyone gets X draws from the deck
it disappears.
Under each random effect is listed 8
possible options. These can be used or you may create
your own random options. This was done mainly
for ease of use when using the included cards. You
can either use the main effect or include any or all of
the random effects for better selections.

Variant Decks
There are several known decks oating
around but many more are thought to exist.

Deck of Many Woes

This deck contains only cards with woeful
effects. Use only cards 51-100 to create this deck.
Whenever a card is drawn from this deck it is
removed. Strong (all schools); CL 20th.

Deck of Many Wonders

This deck contains only cards with
benecial effects. Use only cards 1-50 to create this
deck. Whenever a card is drawn from this deck it is
removed. These types of decks should be few and far
between. Strong (all schools); CL 20th.

Mad Deck of Abramelin

This deck contains any and all of the listed
cards with one exception. There exists one special
card in this deck, the Abramelin card. When drawn,
Abramelin, a Lawful Evil, 10th level Mage, 10th level
Red Wizard, is released from the deck. He possesses
all of the necessary trappings of his classes and
levels. Strong (all schools); CL 20th.
Note: A particularly nasty variant of this deck is
one in which Abramelins consciousness is switched
with that of the drawer, leaving the drawers soul in
the card and no one the wiser.

Deck of Greed
This deck contains only cards with benecial
effects. Use only cards 1-50 to create this deck. This
deck appeals to the greed within those who draw
from it. Whenever a card is drawn from this deck it
is replaced with a blank card, and the deck is shufed
after each drawing. If a blank card is drawn the entire
deck explodes triggering a Chain Lightening spell
(cast as if by a 20th level Mage). The drawer is not
allowed a saving throw, however, everyone else can
save as normal. These types of decks begin with 5
blank cards in the place of 5 normal cards. Strong
(all schools); CL 20th.

Deck of Sacrice
This deck contains any and all of the listed
cards. What makes this deck unique is that whenever
a character is rewarded or penalized by an effect,
a random member of their party is affected by the
opposite effect. If the drawer is not part of an active
party, then the effect goes to a random person. Strong
(all schools); CL 20th.
Example: Card drawn is Suffer -1 penalty to AC;
then another member of the party gains a +1 bonus
to AC.
Note: Feel free to ignore opposite effects that either
dont make sense or can not plausibly happen; such
as draw 4 more cards. What is the opposite of that?

one year. Whether the information gained can be

successfully acted upon is another question entirely.
9. Add +1 to a random magic weapon or piece of
armor the drawer already possesses; if he does not
already possess any then add +2 to a random weapon
or piece of armor.

15. Gain a +2 inherent bonus to one ability score.

single problem or answer fully any question upon her
request. The query or request must be made within

25. Any weapon you wield is considered to be

magical for purposes of damage reduction.

35. Immunity to everything for D6 rounds, usable

26. Gain the favor of an Outsider. Love, compassion

and even pity are just some of the reasons why an
Outsider has taken an interest in you. The favor can
only be ended by either the Outsiders death or by
an act of goodness/evil (depending on the Outsider)
by the character. Generally the Outsider will only
intervene in life and death situations regarding the
character.

36. Gain a contact in every known city.

helpful).
32. Gain the services of a non-combat servant. This

39. Gain immunity to critical hits.
40. Gain the ability to wear any armor without

a monks prohibition against multiclassing). In order
to gain any further levels in this shadow class, you
must rst purchase the rst level again. Once you
have done so you may continue to gain levels in this
new class per normal rules (and you are then subject
to all the normal rules of multiclassing).
42. Gain random Feat which you meet the
requirements for.
43. Gain 2x XP at the end of each session from this
point forward.
44. Gain the same benet as if wearing a Ring of
Sustenance. This ability continually provides its
wearer with life-sustaining nourishment. It also
refreshes the body and mind, so that the character
needs only sleep 2 hours per day to gain the benet
of 8 hours of sleep.
45. Gain random class ability usable once per day.
46. Gain spell book with 2D20 levels of spells.
47. Entire party is randomly teleported to another
plane of existence.
48. Avoid any situation you choose, once. This card
enables the character to avoid even an instantaneous
occurrence if so desired, for the fabric of reality is
unraveled and respun. Note that it does not enable
something to happen. It can only stop something from
happening or reverse a past occurrence. The reversal
is only for the character that drew the card; other
party members may have to endure the situation.

49. Your base speed is now doubled.

50. Gain a random monster creature as a pet. Only
creatures with Intelligence of 5 or less should be
considered for this effect. The creature follows and
obeys the character; however, it will react to the
method and manner in which character treats it.

Woeful Effects
51. Defeat next foe (single-handedly) or lose a
Level.
52. Defeat dread wraith or be forever destroyed.
A dread wraith appears. Treat this creature as an
unturnable undead. The character must ght it
aloneif others help, they get dread wraiths to
ght as well. If the character is slain, she is slain
forever and cannot be revived, even with a wish or a
miracle.
53. All Magical Items in your possession have 70%
chance each of being dispelled permanently.
54. Lose 5,000 XP and a random item you possess.
55. Random magical (+1 or better) item drops by -2
permanently. If the drawer does not have one, then
the next closest person has this effect happen to
them, if they do not have a +1 or better item then it
goes to the next closest and so on until it happens.
56. Fight an evil duplicate of yourself. It has
everything the character has (including spells / special
abilities). No one can help because combat takes
place in the mind of the character. If the character
loses combat, the evil character takes over the body
(take the person to another room to ght the battle),
the new character is totally evil and must be played
so. If characters alignment is ever changed again he
dies instantly.
57. Body functions, but soul is trapped else where.
The characters body continues to function, as
though comatose, but her psyche is trapped in a
prison somewherein an object on a far plane or
planet, possibly in the possession of an outsider. A
wish or a miracle does not bring the character back,
instead merely revealing the plane of entrapment.
The drawer can draw no more cards; however, the
party is free to continue drawing.
58. Lose 1d4 points of Intelligence and draw 1d4
more cards.
59. Suffer a -2 penalty to AC.

60. All hireling/followers possessed turn on you.

When this card is drawn, one of the characters
NPC friends (preferably a cohort) is totally alienated
and forever after hostile. If the character has no
cohorts, the enmity of some powerful personage (or
community, or religious order) can be substituted.
The hatred is secret until the time is ripe for it to be
revealed with devastating effect.
61. Suffer a -1 penalty to all saving throws.
62. Gain the enmity on an Outsider. Hot anger,
jealousy, and envy are but a few of the possible
motivational forces for the enmity. The enmity of
the outsider cant be ended until one of the parties
has been slain. Determine the outsider randomly, and
assume that it attacks the character (or plagues her
life in some way) within 1d20 days, if the result of
the die roll is a 1, then the Outsider instantly teleports
to the drawers location.
63. You are now blind (curable only by a Wish).
64. Drain all charged items down to one charge on
everyone within 50 of the drawer.
65. Lose all wealth and real property.
66. Lose 10,000 XP and draw another card.
67. All magic items you possess disappear.
68. Lose 2 levels. Drop to 1 point over the minimum
XP needed for the new level. Example: if you are
currently 7th level, drop to 10,001 and are now 5th
level. If you possess more than one class, lose one
level each in two of you classes.
69. You become the hated enemy of a race of monsters
(DM decides). The hatred they feel towards you is so
deep that all members of that race recognize you on
sight. They receive a +3 bonus to hit and damage
against you.
70. Curse of Healing: You cannot be healed by any
magical means, you must heal naturally.
71. Curse of Fumbling: All DEX checks are made
at a -5, you fumble on an attack roll 1-3, and when
casting you have a 30% chance of spell failure (or
wild surging).
72. Curse of Berserking Rage: When a battle
presents itself, the character throws all caution into
the wind and charges into battle with a +2 hit/dmg,
-2 penalty to AC, +1 number of attacks, and ghts
to negative your CON; the Berserk Rage lasts for

characters level d4 rounds (i.e. 6 level ghter rolls

6d4). If the rage ends before the battle does, roll
for Berserk Rage again until the battle is over. You
Berserk until your enemies are dead.
73. Curse of Wild Surging: Anyone (including the
cursed person) within 40 of the cursed individual
has a 50% chance of wild surging every time a spell
is cast.
74. Curse of Aging: You age to one year beyond the
next age category. If you were an adult human, then
you would become a Middle Aged human at 36 years
old.
75. Curse of the Undead: Every creature that you
slain from this point forward will return from the
grave as a Wraith in D4 days. There is a 10% chance
that the newly risen Wraith will hunt the character
down.
76. Curse of Anti-Magic: An invisible barrier totally
impervious to all magic and magical spell effects
surrounds the character permanently. The size of the
barrier is 5 /Level of the character.
77. Curse of Spell Vulnerability: You become
vulnerable to every spell cast by a mage or cleric;
now your character only saves vs Spells with a 15
or better (this does not count towards spells from
devices, only spells from spell users); the save never
goes down even when the character goes up in
level.
78. Curse of Wounding: Once wounded in battle
with a piercing or slashing weapon you lose 1-3
HPs/Round until the wound is bound.
79. Curse of Miss-Guided Attack: When combat
goes on within 50ft of the cursed person, do combat
the following way:
a. Determine how many people are within
50ft radius of the cursed PC (not just people
ghting, but everyone that is within a 50ft
radius; there could be 2 people ghting and
8 people watching for a total of 10 people).
b. Determine AC of target normally
c. Roll to hit.
d. If a hit is scored, roll randomly to see who
took the damage, including the cursed PC
(using the example from above, if one of the
cursed ghter takes a hit, roll a d10 to see

which of the 10 people takes the damage).

80. Random magical item disintegrates. If user has
no magical items then the next closet person with
a magical item must save, etc, etc, until there is a
magical item is found and it makes/fails the save.
81. You attract any missile (magic or non-magic) that
comes within 20 of you; if you make a successful
Reex save at a -2 penalty the missile continues on
to its intended target.
82. Gain a -2 penalty to one ability score. The 2 points
are subtracted from any ability the character chooses.
They cannot be divided among two abilities.
83. Suffer a -3 penalty to all Reex saves.
84. A magic dead zone now emanates from your
body. This zone is 5 per character level in radius.
85. You now begin to emit both light and sound.
While not a blinding light nor is it a thunderous
sound, this effectively negates any attempts at Hide
in Shadows and Move Silently.
86. Gain an intense allergy to any and all types of
metal. When in physical contact with any form of
metal take 2D4 points of damage every round contact
is maintained. (This effect begins the moment the
card is drawn)
87. Lose the favor of your Deity. Your Deity has been
slighted by your actions and no longer considers you
one of their own. They will no longer grant you spells
or other favors. This slight was so disrespectful that
no other deity will accept you either.
88. Gain Mark of the Beast; all creatures (monsters
and animals alike) will attack you on sight.
89. The entire party if teleported to a random place,
however, all equipment and clothing (including the
deck) is left at the location where the card was drawn
from.
90. You are now affected by a life threatening
poison. You will die in 2D20 days unless you nd
the cure (which you must also discover). This poison
is immune to magical healing.
91. Switch gender; if male become female, if female
become male.
92. Randomly Polymorph into another creature.
93. Gain only the normal XP at the end of each

session from this point forward.

Random Spell-like Ability

94. Lose your next level dependant feat (i.e.; the feat
you gain at 1st level, 3rd level, 5th level, etc.).
95. You are now under the inuence of a Doom
spell.
96. Vulnerability to critical hits. Every successful
attack upon you is treated as a threat. Determine if
the threat is a critical hit per normal rules.
97. You have awoken a Tarrasque. It is aware of who
has awakened it and where that person is. It will stop
at nothing to track that person down.
98. An opposite of you now exists somewhere in
the world. Both the opposite and you are completely
aware of each others existence but have no other
spiritual/mental/metaphysical connection. Whenever
you enter a town there is a 50% chance that your
opposite has already visited and will cause the town
to have a case of mistaken identity over you.
99. D4 Phantasmal Forces are generated around you
each week.
100. Change alignment instantly. The character
must change to a radically different alignment. If the
character fails to act according to the new alignment,
she gains a negative level.
Note: While we had originally though of including
options for these random effects, we felt in the long
run that it would be better for DMs to tailor these
effects for their individual campaigns and style of
running.

SRD Deck of Many Things

Jester

Deck of Many Things: A deck of many things

(both benecial and baneful) is usually found in a
box or leather pouch. Each deck contains a number
of cards or plaques made of ivory or vellum. Each
is engraved with glyphs, characters, and sigils. As
soon as one of these cards is drawn from the pack, its
magic is bestowed upon the person who drew it, for
better or worse.
The character with a deck of many things
who wishes to draw a card must announce how
many cards she will draw before she begins. Cards
must be drawn within 1 hour of each other, and a
character can never again draw from this deck any
more cards than she has announced. If the character
does not willingly draw her allotted number (or if
she is somehow prevented from doing so), the cards
ip out of the deck on their own. Exception: If the
jester is drawn, the possessor of the deck may elect
to draw two additional cards.
Each time a card is taken from the deck, it is
replaced (making it possible to draw the same card
twice) unless the draw is the jester or the fool, in
which case the card is discarded from the pack. A
deck of many things contains 22 cards. To simulate
the magic cards, you may want to use tarot cards, as
indicated in the second column of the accompanying
table. If no tarot deck is available, substitute ordinary
playing cards instead, as indicated in the third
column. The effects of each card, summarized on the
table, are fully described below.

Balance: The character must change to a radically

different alignment. If the character fails to act
according to the new alignment, she gains a negative
level.
Comet: The character must single-handedly defeat
the next hostile monster or monsters encountered, or
the benet is lost. If successful, the character gains
enough XP to attain the next experience level.
Donjon: This card signies imprisonment either
by the imprisonment spell or by some powerful
being. All gear and spells are stripped from the victim
in any case. Draw no more cards.
Euryale: The medusa-like visage of this card brings
a curse that only the fates card or a deity can remove.
The 1 penalty on all saving throws is otherwise
permanent.
Fates: This card enables the character to avoid even
an instantaneous occurrence if so desired, for the
fabric of reality is unraveled and respun. Note that
it does not enable something to happen. It can only
stop something from happening or reverse a past
occurrence. The reversal is only for the character
that drew the card; other party members may have to
endure the situation.

Flames: Hot anger, jealousy, and envy are but a few

of the possible motivational forces for the enmity.
The enmity of the outsider cant be ended until one
of the parties has been slain. Determine the outsider
randomly, and assume that it attacks the character (or
plagues her life in some way) within 1d20 days.
Fool: The payment of XP and the redraw are
mandatory. This card is always discarded when
drawn, unlike all others except the jester.

ght as well. If the character is slain, she is slain

forever and cannot be revived, even with a wish or
a miracle.
Star: The 2 points are added to any ability the
character chooses. They cannot be divided among
two abilities.
Sun: Roll for a medium wondrous item until a useful
item is indicated.

Gem: This card indicates wealth. The jewelry is all

gold set with gems, each piece worth 2,000 gp, the
gems 1,000 gp value each.

Talons: When this card is drawn, every magic item

owned or possessed by the character is instantly and
irrevocably gone.

Idiot: This card causes the drain of 1d4+1 points

of Intelligence immediately. The additional draw is
optional.

Throne: The character becomes a true leader in

peoples eyes. The castle gained appears in any open
area she wishes (but the decision where to place it
must be made within 1 hour).

Jester: This card is always discarded when drawn,

unlike all others except the fool. The redraws are
optional.
Key: The magic weapon granted must be one usable
by the character. It suddenly appears out of nowhere
in the characters hand.
Knight: The ghter appears out of nowhere and
serves loyally until death. He or she is of the same
race (or kind) and gender as the character.
Moon: This card sometimes bears the image of
a moonstone gem with the appropriate number
of wishes shown as gleams therein; sometimes it
depicts a moon with its phase indicating the number
of wishes (full = four; gibbous = three; half = two;
quarter = one). These wishes are the same as those
granted by the 9th-level wizard spell and must be
used within a number of minutes equal to the number
received.
Rogue: When this card is drawn, one of the characters
NPC friends (preferably a cohort) is totally alienated
and forever after hostile. If the character has no
cohorts, the enmity of some powerful personage (or
community, or religious order) can be substituted.
The hatred is secret until the time is ripe for it to be
revealed with devastating effect.
Ruin: As implied by its name, when this card is
drawn, all non-magical possessions of the drawer
are lost.
Skull: A dread wraith appears. Treat this creature
as an unturnable undead. The character must ght
it aloneif others help, they get dread wraiths to

Vizier: This card empowers the character drawing

it with the one-time ability to call upon a source
of wisdom to solve any single problem or answer
fully any question upon her request. The query or
request must be made within one year. Whether the
information gained can be successfully acted upon is
another question entirely.
The Void: This black card spells instant disaster. The
characters body continues to function, as though
comatose, but her psyche is trapped in a prison
somewherein an object on a far plane or planet,
possibly in the possession of an outsider. A wish or
a miracle does not bring the character back, instead
merely revealing the plane of entrapment. Draw no
more cards.
