An expanded list of the Deck Of Many Things mapped unto the official Tarokka card deck.
| Card | Effect |
|---|---|
| Abjurer | You achieve goals that are unreachable to others. Choose one of your attributes. Its score is increased by 2. You may increase your score above 20, but not above 24 in this manner. |
| Anarchist | Anarchists know no lords and follow their own mind and rules, wherever those may come from. Your alignment fully inverts, both in the good-evil and lawful-chaotic axes. Only neutral remains neutral. |
| Artifact | You summon an Avatar of Death. The Avatar appears within 10 feet and attacks instantly. The Avatar warns everybody that his quarrel is with you alone. The Avatar while fight to the death of either you or him. If anybody attempts to help you, double the current number of Avatars appear and attack the helper. A creature by an Avatar of Death in this manner cannot be revived by anything but a Wish spell.| |
| Avenger | An intelligent, sentient weapon of a type you are proficient with appears in your hand. The weapon swears allegiance to you, as long as you swear in return to avenge its former wielder. |
| Beast | A magical creature appears out of nothing and devours, before you can react, all even remotely magical items in your possession. These items are not destroyed, but, for now, no longer available to you. (In my homebrew, this Creature is the Avatar/Aspect of Greed, which could in theory be hunted by the players) |
| Beggar | If you are of Medium or bigger size, your size is reduced by one category. Your strength score is reduced by 2. On the other hand, you gain advantage when you are asking others for help. |

Every 1d6 days after being targeted as part of this card, you are again the target of the spell. If you are the subject of a disease of as part of the “Contagion” spell, roll another 1d6 to determine the disease. |

| Charlatan | You are branded a heretical charlatan - and most of the gods despise those. Once per long rest, the first natural 20 per day must be rerolled. This effect may onle be removed by a “Wish” spell or the “Destiny” card of the very same deck you pulled this card from. |
| Conjurer | You are summoned to a random plane by a conjurer accidentally. |
