Equipment

A cursed bag that looks and acts like a bag of holding, but its interior is the maw of an otherworldly creature. Objects placed inside are devoured over a few minutes. A creature pulled or climbing inside makes a Power roll; on a miss it is drawn into the Fade and consumed, otherwise it escapes back out. Reaching in to retrieve something risks the same.

A small, flavorless sphere that sustains the body for a day. Eat it (Use Item) to gain a full day’s food and water—even where you normally can’t eat, drink, or breathe—and recover 1 exhaustion. Single use.

A stoppered flask that never runs dry. When you use it (Use Item), it pours fresh or salt water in one of three streams: a trickle (1 gallon per round), a gush (5 gallons as an action), or an aimed geyser (30 gallons per round). A creature struck by the geyser makes a Power roll—on a miss it is shoved 10 feet and knocked prone, on a weak hit shoved 5 feet, on a strong hit unmoved.

A fist-sized sphere of clouded crystal with a core of solid mithril that weighs almost nothing in the hand. When activated, it hovers in place. Whoever activated it can give it one of five spoken commands, each costing 1 AP: follow, and it keeps within 10 feet of you; come, and it travels up to 20 feet toward you; stay, and it holds where it is; rise or fall, and it travels up to 20 feet straight up or down.

A brass bottle that when opened (Use Item) pours out thick smoke that heavily obscures a 60-foot radius, spreading 10 feet further each round, until it is stoppered again (Use Item). A strong wind disperses it.

While you wear these, you have a climb speed and a swim speed equal to your walking speed, and climbing costs you no extra movement.

While you wear these, you have darkvision out to 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, its range increases by 60 feet.

A flat iron rod with a single button. Press the button and the rod fixes in place in midair, bearing up to 100 weight before it slips; press it again to release. A fixed rod makes a foothold, a bar, or a lever.

A lustrous pearl that when used (Use Item) lets the user recover 2 fatigue. Once used, it cannot be used again until the next dawn.

A black gem on a fine silver chain. While you wear it, the duration of the Weakened condition on you is halved, rounded down, and you are immune to poison damage.

A folded silk cloth that unfurls into a 10-foot-deep, 6-foot-wide extradimensional pit; fold the cloth to close it, sealing anything inside. A closed hole holds 1 hour of air divided among the creatures within. Placing it inside another extradimensional space ruptures both, opening a one-way gate to the Fade that pulls everything within 10 feet through.

A robe with eye patterned fabric. While you wear it, you see in all directions: you have advantage on ability checks that rely on sight and you can’t be surprised by anything you can see. You also have darkvision and truesight out to 120 feet. A bright-light effect cast on the robe, or sudden daylight, blinds it—and you—for 1 minute.

60 feet of rope that obeys a spoken command (Use Item): it climbs and anchors itself to a point you name, knots or unknots at 1-foot intervals, or holds fast up to 50 weight.

A legendary deck of fate, found in a box or pouch, its cards cut from ivory or vellum. Most such decks have thirteen cards; some have twenty-two.

Before you draw, you must declare how many cards you intend to draw, then draw them at random; any cards drawn beyond that number have no effect. Otherwise, the moment a card is drawn its magic takes hold, and you must draw each card within an hour of the last. If you fail to draw your declared number, the rest fly from the deck on their own and take effect at once. Once drawn, a card vanishes—except the Fool and the Jester, which return to the deck and so can be drawn twice.

Balance

Increase one of your abilities by +1 (to a maximum of +10) and decrease another by −1; or leave them unchanged, in which case this card does nothing.

Comet

The next time you enter combat against hostile creatures, you may name one as your foe. If you bring that foe to 0 HP during the fight, you have advantage on death saves for a year. If you name no foe, or someone else fells it, this card does nothing.

Donjon

You vanish, entombed in suspended animation in an extradimensional cell. Everything you wear and carry stays behind, save artifacts. You remain imprisoned until found and freed; no divination can locate you, though Wish reveals your prison. You draw no more cards.

Euryale

A petrifying curse settles on you: attacks against you land at +1 step. Only a deity or the Fates card can lift it.

Fates

Reality's weave unravels and re-knits. You may avoid or erase one event as though it never happened—when you draw the card, or any later time before you die.

Flames

A powerful fiend becomes your sworn enemy, savoring your suffering before it sets out to destroy you. The enmity lasts until one of you is dead.

Fool

You have disadvantage on every roll for the next 72 hours. Draw another card; this draw does not count against your declared number.

Gem

Treasure spills at your feet: twenty-five pieces of jewelry worth 2,000g each, or fifty gems worth 1,000g each.

Jester

You have advantage on every roll for the next 72 hours—or you may instead draw two more cards beyond your declared number.

Key

A rare or finer magic weapon you are proficient with appears in your hand.

Knight

A loyal Knight appears in an open space within 30 feet and serves you faithfully until death.

Moon

You gain 1d3 castings of the Wish charm, which you may cast with no fatigue.

Puzzle

Your mind dulls: permanently reduce your FOCUS by 1 (to a minimum of −2). Draw one more card beyond your declared number.

Rogue

An NPC of the GM's choice turns secretly hostile to you. You won't know who until they—or someone else—reveal it; nothing short of Wish or divine intervention ends their hatred.

Ruin

Every form of wealth you hold, save magic items, is lost—coin, gems, portable goods, and any business, building, or land you own slips away, along with any proof you ever owned it.

Sage

Within the next year, you may pose one question and receive a truthful answer.

Skull

An Avatar of Death (scaled by the GM to your tier) appears in the nearest open space and attacks only you. If an ally aids you against it, a second Avatar appears to attack that ally instead. Anyone an Avatar slays cannot be restored to life.

Star

Increase one of your abilities by +1, to a maximum of +10.

Sun

A magic item of the GM's choice appears in your hands, and each dawn until you die you wake with 10 temporary HP.

Talons

Every magic item you wear or carry crumbles to nothing; artifacts in your possession vanish instead.

Throne

You gain proficiency and expertise in a social or knowledge skill of your choice, and the rightful deed to a small keep—though monsters hold it now, and you must clear them out to claim it.

Void

Your soul is torn from your body and bound into an object hidden by the GM. Your body falls inert—ceasing to age, needing no food, air, or water. Wish cannot return your soul, but reveals where it is held. You draw no more cards.

Its verses and rituals court fortune itself until chance bends toward the reader. You can Work on a Project, Countdown 16, to study this tome: if you complete the project in a tenday, your LUCK increases by +1, to a maximum of +10. The tome then loses its magic for the next century.

Its drills of reflex, sleight, and quick wit hone every motion to a razor’s edge. You can Work on a Project, Countdown 16, to study this tome: if you complete the project in a tenday, your CUNNING increases by +1, to a maximum of +10. The tome then loses its magic for the next century.
