Camaron's Deck
Wondrous Item Legendary
A pack of cards. The back of the cards are embroidered with silver foil and embossed with a large silver hourglass on the back. To activate the deck, pick it up. When the deck activates, the etchings begin to glow and pulse with golden light. As time passes, the pulses become closer together. When the pulses have no time left between them, the deck vanishes. Once the deck has been activated, any being may draw one card. Camaron's deck prevents any being from drawing more than one card per activation of the deck. When you draw a card, 1d20+1d6-1 and consult the table below. No cards are transferrable by any means.
Camaron and Herazy together researched how magic and randomness interconnected. Camaron's research resulted in this deck, while Herazy made Herazy's Deck.
