Current revision

The Deck of Changes is found in the Mage Curan's back room in Camille, but you will have to prove your worth to him first before partaking.

Playing with the Deck of Changes is a sure way to ruin a perfectly good character. You've been warned.

Yep, yep.

This whole thing is a spoiler so the rest is....

Spoiler warning: information below includes details, such as solutions to puzzles or quest procedures, that you may prefer to discover on your own.

The Deck itself says: This is a deck of large, white-lacquered horn cards. The backs of the cards bear a series of eight golden symbols arranged in a circle. It is a Deck of Changes, imbued with powerful magicks. Its power is such that its properties are not wholly known, and its use can be quite dangerous. One may choose to draw cards from the deck and reap the rewards or suffer the consequences of the drawing.

Warning: New cards, such as 'Warpstone' (acts like a warpstone) have been added as of change #8213, which are not in this list yet. Be careful!

Please, PLEASE read this as "the more you draw the more you'll likely regret it".

I do it for fun, because I like seeing new and strange stuff, and that's what a game's all about, right?

By the way, I have horrendeous amounts of luck and Chaos favour and it doesn't seem to matter.

I'm going to be drawing for awhile to confirm what affects there are--some of these are guesses or rememberances, but I'll mark those as such. Honestly, I'm pretty sure on most of them, but just for full disclosure, they'll be noted as such until I draw and verify. (Or someone else does! =D )

So, without further ado:

There is a small region of shallows and tidal pools here, after which the depth of the ocean drops off rather sharply.  Northward and westward is the ocean surface.  Southward and eastward is the island's fishing village.  A pair of small docks extend into the bay here, connecting at the end with a perpendicular dock, in a sort of double-T.  A house is on either side of the docks.  A granite building, fairly low to the ground, is further up the beach here.  It is obviously a smithy. Waves of heat emenate from a chimney, and an oak plank above the door bears a picture of a katana.  There is no path or road, but the villagers keep the ground fairly free of rocks and overgrowth.

-Commands that can be used with the deck of changes are 'cut deck', 'draw card', and 'choose <number> (to choose the number of cards you will draw, from 1 to 7).  Choose carefully, because you will not be able to draw from the deck of changes again for one day.
