      Yeah he should have and did get -2 to saves (maybe checks too?) instead of a Dancing Scimitar.

      Matt accidentally gave Travis the wrong card when he pulled originally, so he later retconned it as it was supposed to be the card that gives a permanent -2 to all saves.

      RULER OF THE INTERNET That is a bit silly.
      A mistake like that is a failure on the GMs part and not that of the player so the GM should accept his mistake and let it slide.
      Of course if the player says that he is willing to accept the price then there is no issue with rectifying the mistake.

      I honestly cannot wait to see what he has in store for his new character when this final arc is over. I feel like he created Grog back when he was brand new to role playing a character of his own and he's done wonders with the limitations Grog's intellect has put on him ever since. Easily one of the best RPers in the group. His new character is going to be absolutely fantastic.

      Goku61394 I agree about wanting to see him play a new character. If you watched a few of the one-shots, ie the Liam ones, esp where they are rogues from the Clasp, Travis plays a relatively intelligent character and has a absolute blast. I think he would be amazing with a character who has decent intelligence.

    At a level 18 one shot, we all had the option of having up to a legendary magical item. Most of the party and I grab relevant items, but the ranger instead goes for a deck of many things. After a handful of draws, we nearly got tpk'd since the cleric drew the wrath of a powerful devil. We also fought the devil without a wizard, since he was trapped because a previous card. The item single-handedly made our session.

      I let my players draw from it during our most recent session. Our ranger drew Comet, Euryale, and Moon (rolled 3 wishes). Our rouge drew Rouge, Euryale, Flames, and Idiot, but drew Key on his extra card. And finally their fighter friend drew Vizier, Knight, and Moon (also rolled 3 wishes).
      They told the fighter to use his wishes to give them 3 permanent resistances (which is RAW) so now everyone has resistance to all physical damage. Another was used to restore the rouge's INT from the Idiot card and now they have 2 left. Fun times ahead.

    • @aaronjjacques
      @aaronjjacques 7 лет назад +3

      if they use raw rules the deck won't work for grog anymore, Before you draw a card, you must declare how many cards you intend to draw and then draw them randomly (you can use an altered deck of playing cards to simulate the deck). Any cards drawn in excess of this number have no effect.

    • @kevintaylor8748
      @kevintaylor8748 7 лет назад +9

      nothing says you cut declare multiple times. it only specifies that you can't say three, but stop after one. And if you accidentally pull more than declared nothing happens.

    • @aaronjjacques
      @aaronjjacques 7 лет назад

      that not what it says it says ANY cards drawn in excess of this number have NO effect. The first card in the second draw is also the X card from the first draw, therefore it has NO effect. it would have to reset the effect at the end of the day for it to work the way you are claiming. It also would be an infinite wish machine because you could wish you drew the moon card instead of the bad card you just drew.

      If we're talking about the 22 card deck, the Fates is the most powerful card, but in a 13 card deck the Moon (the wish card) is definitely the most powerful.

  • @SharkyShocker
    @SharkyShocker 6 лет назад +55

    I know a lot of DM's are afraid of putting the Deck of Many Things into their campaign because of it being too powerful... but a simple solution to that is to replace some of the more powerful cards with weaker versions if your characters are low level. For instance, perhaps instead of 1d3 wishes the player is given 1d3 days of Enlightened Skills (Advantage on all Rolls), and maybe instead of the pesky Void Spell that puts your soul into an object and lets a powerful entity guard it the card instead automatically put the player into a contract with the powerful entity. If the character is perhaps weak-willed then they may be swayed by the entity and do evil acts in the hope of power(essentially giving them the choice to switch to Warlock)). Though if the player refuses they'll simply keep ignoring the entity until they are hit with a Greater Restoration Spell (Which the party would likely have to find someone who could do such if they're low level). These are just a couple ideas on the more powerful effects in the deck. Really it's up to the DM, but never underestimate how much fun the item can be. Good luck out there!

    • @bennyjones1502
      @bennyjones1502 6 лет назад +1

      Wish spells are powerful yo.
      He wished he "was a powerful lord of the crossroads". The keyword "was" is what made it happen.
      It wasn't, "Make me a powerful lord of the crossroads". It's "I was". He doesn't know the guys name, but for all intents and purposes he "was" a lord in the past. Probably shaved off a quadrant (averaged from all the lords) who all now think they never had that land.
      The spell can create a single magic item worth 25,000 gold, so he probably got a cut of land that was worth 25,000 if sold, today. The land itself may be more "powerful" if wielded correctly, i.e. commanded by government or private rule... but it's ultimately probably worth about that much, minus say, a 500 gold retainer for that guy. He may have a lot of "power" but he might go down a couple of alleys and get shanked, as power is dangerous. He's gonna need that second wish pretty soon. He should've just asked for money.
      Wishes are dangerous.

It speaks to what a fantastic storyteller Matt is that he has all 7 of them hanging on his words, just waiting to see what happens to this random throwaway NPC.
    For those 10 seconds before he says, "... I wish..." they were in another world.

    Back in 2E, I was a DM and one of the characters found a Deck of Many Things. He pulled like 3 cards out, two were beneficial and one was the mini-Death avatar. Well, it attacked him, then he attacked it, and then a few members of the party attacked the mini-Death, which produced multiple ones! I think like 2-3 PCs died, but the others (we were each playing 2-3 characters) lived, so it was great!
