Dungeons and Dragons RPG: Tarokka Deck

Description:

The Vistani have long been masters of fortune-telling. In the hands of a Vistani seer, a deck of Tarokka cards can tell tales of the future and provide answers to many a dark and mysterious question.

Although the workmanship and artistic quality of the cards can vary from deck to deck, the ability of the cards to call forth information about the future is far more valuable than the monetary worth of a deck.

Anyone can craft a deck of Tarokka cards, but only someone of Vistani blood can imbue the cards with the gift of prophecy. Once they are crafted and empowered, they must be stored in accordance with ancient tradition, or they lose their efficacy. When not in use, Tarokka cards must be wrapped in silk and stored in a wooden box.

Includes:

• A Tarokka deck has 54 cards, each of which has its own name. 40 of them comprise the common deck, which is divided into four suits: swords, coins, stars, and glyphs.
• Each suit contains cards numbered 1 through 9, plus a tenth card that is called the master of that suit. A card can be referred to by its suit designation or by its name. For instance, the 3 of glyphs is also known as the healer, and the wizard card is also known as the master of stars.
• The remaining 14 cards make up the high deck, which symbolizes the natural forces of the multiverse. These cards are represented by a crown symbol and are the most powerful cards in the deck.
