Thank you to my wonderful D&D friends - Tony, Ryan, Richard, Sidney, and Andrew, in no particular order. I bother the hell out of them with this stuff and it would never get made if I couldn't bounce my ideas off of them and actually playtest it with them.

Thank you to reddit users Spoolicus, Mittenmagic, Strykers, lotictrance, MelancholyOnAGoodDay, PaytonZane, some_hippies, Malinhion, ss4mario, 7ortuga, ShareDVI, and HeadmasterDitto for reading over the original version 1 of this class and giving support and feedback on how to make it play better. It feels like a much bigger and more full  class now.

Thank you to reddit users xBUBBA1995x, claypot19, TheOnlyOrk, and calpin99 for looking over version 2 and helping this fine tuning.

# Dealer

In a dark and musty den sits a toothy grinned elf expertly shuffling a deck of cards. Surrounding the table is a pack of unkind and roguish orcs, bugbears, and goblins that flash dangerous eyes. The elf deals everyone a hand, but unknown to everyone surrounding, he pulls from the bottom of the deck to his hand. There is an angered groan as the pot is slid toward the elf for the fifth time this night.

A triton searching for his long lost mother sits down at his campfire for the night and draws cards. One by one, they paint him a vivid picture of family beyond the mountains. As he looks to the stars, his attention falls to the north where a snow dusted peak lies. Before he lays down to sleep however, a twig snaps behind him and he draws another card, glowing with energy.

A halfling walks through the town market, searching for some wonderful spiced rum. She hears some commotion from the center of the market, with a rather brutish human manhandling a woman. She takes a hold of her deck, and flings three cards toward the man with expert precision. The first two deter him away from the girl, but the third card hits a stock of combustable material in the stall behind, causing quite more of a scene than she bargained for.

A dealer is more than just someone who has given themselves a fantastic sleight of hand, but rather they are masters in the art of chaotic destiny. Where most spellcasters hone their craft to specific spells or items, dealers thrive with wild magic and embrace the gamble of never knowing how their power will manifest. But like any good gambler, they know how to stack the deck in their favor.

### Origin in Chaos

Much like the magic itself, the start to a dealer's journey is often one of uncertainty. In a fantastic sort of irony, the only surefire constant between dealers is the existance of chaos in their life beforehand. Magic users that might have awakened as sorcerers otherwise can find themselves as dealers if they participate too much in a gambler's den. Those that like to make ill-fated deals with chaotic beings make find themselves slaves to chaos. Or perhaps a diviner might actually find themselves staring into the third eye of fate when telling their own fortune one day. Most dealers have no mentors in this craft, but even if they learned it themselves they usually have no problem sharing it with others.

### Charismatic Agents

These cardsharks always with a penchant for conversing or at least lying to others. They are perhaps the most social of all spellcasters, save perhaps a famous bard. Regardless of how the powers appear, the people who wield this wild magic appear in one of two ways most of the time. Some may come off as aggressive, channeling an offensive chaotic power into the cards, and use them as weapons themselves. Others take a stance of letting the cards support them as they let the wild energy choose what happens to them or perhaps their companions.

### Creating a Dealer

When you decide on how your dealer came to be, think about what they did before they had this magic ability. Was this a cause of a bad bet? Did this spark to life after using cards recreationally? Are they willingly giving themselves to chaos or are they the unlucky victims of fate?

Most dealers are quite chaotic in nature and so that alignment is typical of them, but neutral or lawful characters can find themselves holding the deck just the same. Neutral characters may find themselves just going with the flow, or a lawful character may find solace in following the whim of fate and destiny.

**Be aware that actually playing a dealer requires using at least a deck of standard playing cards, though a tarot deck may make the Cartomancer subclass more enjoyable to play.**

#### Quick Build
You can make a dealer quickly by following these suggestions. First, make your highest ability scores in Dexterity and Charisma. Second, choose the charlatan background.

  
```
```
  
## Class Features
As a dealer, you gain the following class features
#### Hit Points
___
- **Hit Dice:** 1d8 per dealer level
- **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 8 + your Constitution modifier
- **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per dealer level after 1st

#### Proficiencies
___
- **Armor:** Light Armor
- **Weapons:** Simple Weapons
- **Tools:** All gaming sets

___
- **Saving Throws:** Dexterity, Charisma
- **Skills:** Choose two from Arcana, Deception, Insight, Persuasion, and Sleight of Hand

#### Equipment

- *(a)* any simple weapon or *(b)* a shield
- *(a)* an entertainer's pack or *(b)* a scholar's pack
- a gaming set, leather armor, and a dagger

### Enchanted Deck
At 1st level you gain access to an enchanted deck of cards. This deck can be bought/found/gifted, or created from a set of cards that you have been using for a long time. The deck of cards is bound to you and is not magical for others. If this deck of cards is somehow misplaced, it reappears in your posession following a short rest. If it is destroyed, a new deck of cards may be enchanted with the same abilities as the previous ones for 200g in materials (including a card set) and 8 hours of time.

You choose whether this deck is a standard 52 card playing card deck or a 78 card Tarot deck. This choice details what kind of dealer you are: a Cardshark, Cartomancer, or Summoner, all of which are detailed at the end of the class description. Cardsharks and Summoners use standard decks, while the Cartomancer uses a tarot deck. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 3rd, 6th, 9th, 14th, and 17th level.

### Stacked Deck
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to cheat chaos. When you roll initiative, you may draw a hand before combat begins. The amount of cards in your hand are detailed on The Dealer table. The cards you may stock in your hand increase by one at 5th, 10th, 15th, and 19th levels.

Whenever you draw a card from the deck to use, you may instead replace it with a card from your hand and use its effects instead. Both cards then move to the bottom of the deck.

Once per encounter, before using any cards in your hand you may, as a bonus action, mulligan the draw. To mulligan, you shuffle your hand back into the deck and draw a new hand.
<div class='pageNumber'>3</div>
\page

### Gambling Box
Beginning at 2nd level, you start to dabble with wild magic in other traditional game mediums. You start a box for a set of magical gaming items that you imbue with chaotic magic over time. Like your deck of cards, they are bound magically to you and reappear in the box if they are used, destroyed or misplaced after a short rest. As an action, you may use one item from the box. You create a new piece for your gaming box at 5th, 13th, and 18th level.

#### Gaming Items

**2nd Level - Misplaced Caltrops.** When this set of d4 dice is thrown onto the ground, they multiply to cover a 20 foot diameter. You choose a point you can see within 30 feet as the edge of the circle. From the position they fall in, roll a d4. If 1, they spread north; 2 to the east, 3 to the south, and 4 to the west. They make the area difficult terrain. Creatures that move into or through this area for the first time this round take 1d4 damage per 5 foot squared area they travel through. The caltrops vanish after one minute.

**5th Level - Bullseye Darts.** A set of four darts that you throw all at once. Choose up to four targets you can see within 120 feet to send these darts toward. Roll d20 plus your charisma modifier for each dart. If the roll is under 10, you instead hit the closest ally to the chosen target. If no allies are near the enemy, they will hit you. Each dart does 1d6 piercing damage.

**13th Level - Un/Lucky Coin.** When you toss this coin, it's outcome changes the way that fate looks on your luck. Toss a coin and call it. If you win the toss, all of your rolls for one minute have advantage. If you lose the coin toss, all of your rolls for one minute have disadvantage.

**18th Level - Doom Dice.** At 18th level, you enchant a twenty sided dice with a mass of entropy. When you roll this dice, one of twenty effects can occur. You must choose a spot within 30 feet that you roll this dice to. The doom dice only reappears in the box after a long rest. Refer to the table on the right for the effect of the dice when used.

**Saving Throws.** Some of your doom dice require the target to make a saving throw to resist the effects of the trick. Your saving throw DC is calculate as follows:

<div style="text-align: center">
&nbsp;&nbsp;**Doom Dice DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
</div>

### Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

```
```

| 3 | *Stinking Cloud* is cast with you as the centerpoint. It lasts for 1 minute. |

At 10th level, you can choose another two skill proficiencies to gain this benefit.




<div class='pageNumber'>4</div>

### Mesmerizing the Table

At 11th level, your prowess with any sort of game is astounding and demands attention. You make any roll with a game set at advantage, as well as make any deception or persuasion rolls at advantage against whomever you are playing a table game against.

### Dual Decking

Starting at 15th level, when you use a card from your enchanted deck, instead of placing it at the bottom of the deck, you may choose to create a discard pile for the duration of combat. You may draw from this pile instead of your main deck as part of your normal actions. Cards used from this pile go to the botttom of your deck. After using this feature, you may only use it again after a long rest.


### Creating Luck

At 20th level you become a master of chaos and entropy. When fate is not to your liking, you simply change it. Twice per short rest, you may re-roll any roll, including those of others if they are within 30 feet.

## Enchanted Deck
The bread and butter of a dealer is their enchanted deck, imbued with wild magic that is just as unpredictable as a drawn card. But how one deals the cards has a large effect on what they do.

### Cardshark
Some dealers prefer to use their finesse and aggressive nature in their cards. These prefer to use regular playing cards from a 52 card deck.

Cardsharks gain proficiency with shields and medium armor.

#### Combat Deck
When starting their journey, the cardshark takes their playing cards and delicately sharpens the edges. Their great dexterity with these cards allows for a violent and accurate fling of a randomly drawn card. You gain proficiency with the Combat Deck. When you roll initiative, you shuffle your deck.

The combat deck is an exotic ranged weapon with a normal range of of 40 and a maximum range of 60. When you attack with the combat deck, you draw from your deck of cards. When you draw 2-10, the deck deals 1d4 slashing damage, and when you draw a face card or ace, it deals 2d4 slashing damage.

When rolling a critical hit, you draw a joker and the card deals 3d4 base slashing damage. You specifically remember that there were no jokers in your deck before, but here it is. Once you have used a card, it goes to the bottom of the deck.



```
```
#### Card Tricks
Also at 1st level, your dexterity with your cards takes on a whole new meaning in combat. First, you gain a number of Trick Points equal to half your dealer level (minimum 1) plus your charisma modifier. You may use these points to perform special card tricks. You must gain the benefits of a short or long rest to restore these trick points.

You learn three tricks immediately at 3rd level, and learn the remaining 3 tricks at 7th level.

**Saving Throws.** Some of your tricks require the target to make a saving throw to resist the effects of the trick. Your saving throw DC is calculate as follows:

<div style="text-align: center">
&nbsp;&nbsp;**Trick save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
</div>

___
***Ace up the Sleeve.*** When an enemy's attack misses you, you may spend one trick point to make a single immediate attack against them with your combat deck.
___
***Assistant Performance.*** On your turn, you may use a bonus action and spend a trick point to pump up one ally. When you do so, choose an ally that can see or hear you. They gain advantage on their next roll.

___
***Double Lift.*** When you make an attack with the Combat Deck, you may spend one trick point to immediately make another attack with the Combat Deck. You may only use this trick once per turn.
___
***Misdirection.*** When you successfully hit a target with an attack using your combat deck you may expend one trick point to attract that creature's attention. The next attack roll against the target by an attacker other than you has advantage if the attack is made before the start of your next turn.
___
***Silver Tongue Slice.*** You may spend a trick point to make a bonus action against a creature that can hear and understand you. You fling it an insult on it's performance. It must make a Charisma saving throw or make its next attack roll at disadvantage.
___
***Street Magic Retreat.*** You may spend a trick point to make the disengage action as a bonus action.

#### Face Value
Upon reaching 3rd level, you may add half the numeric value of the card drawn to the damage dealt. Aces count as one and face cards continue on from 10 (e.g. Jack = 11.)

#### Multi-Draw
Your tenacity lets you take multiple cards from your deck. Upon reaching 6th level, when you use your action to attack with the Combat Deck, you may spend your bonus action to make another attack with your deck. You may draw one more additional card attack to this bonus at 11th and 17th levels.

#### Magical Flair
At 9th level, you truly show your magician's skill. Your attacks with the combat deck become magical, and you may change the damage type depending on the suit drawn. Diamonds deliver cold damage, hearts conjure fire, spades energize lightning, and clubs permeate acid.
<div class='pageNumber'>5</div>
\page


#### Lucky Draw
Your time with cards has told you a strong hand is everything. At 14th level, when you use your Multi-Draw, if you draw cards that form a set you may add extra damage dice if all of the set hits.

#####  
| Draw | Damage Dice |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 3 of a Kind  | 1d8 |
| Straight (3 Cards)  | 2d4 |
| Flush (3 Cards) | 1d10 |
| 4 of a Kind | 2d6 |
| Straight Flush (4 Cards) | 2d8 |
| Royal Flush (4 Cards) | 3d6 |


#### 52 Pickup
In a true showing of force, at 17th level, you learn the mightiest trick of all. Once per long rest you may spend five trick points to fling the entireity of your deck in front of you. All creatures in a 15 foot cone in front of you must make a dexterity saving throw, or be dealt 10d20 force damage. Saving halves this damage. Once this feature is used, the deck will reappear to you only after a long rest.

### Cartomancer
Some people derive more than just gambling fun from the cards, but instead recognize their connection to the stars and the path that lies in destiny. They choose to give in to the fate that the cards put upon them.

<img 
  src='http://www.metallicsunmedia.com/images/homebrews/dealer/art/4transp.png' 
  style='position:absolute;bottom:100px;right:370px;width:500px' />

```
```

#### Minor Arcana
A cartomancer separates their tarot deck into two portions: Minor and Major arcana. The Minor Arcana contains all numbered and face cards of each suit. At 1st level, they enchant their minor arcana with wild magic. When you roll initiative you must shuffle this deck.

As an action, you may draw a card from the Minor Arcana deck. The value of the card and suit determine a cantrip that must be cast on your turn. The card then goes to the bottom of the deck. If a spell is not cast by the end of your turn, the card explodes to deal 1d4 fire damage to the wielder. You may throw the card as a ranged weapon attack with a range of 30 feet that deals 1d4 fire damage.

The chart shows what spells are cast depending on the card drawn. Cantrips listed in bold are detailed at the end of the class description. Others may be found in official Wizards of the Coast materials.

If using a standard deck, Swords = Spades, Cups = Hearts, Pentacles = Diamonds, and Staves = Clubs.



######  
| Suit |Draw| Spell Choice |
|:----:|:-:|:------------:|
| Swords |Jack-King| ***Unfortune.*** |
| Swords |6-10| ***Logic Pause.*** |
| Swords |1-5| *Gust* |
| Cups |Jack-King| ***Cup of Care.*** |
| Cups |6-10| ***Fool's Love.***  |
| Cups |1-5| *Shape Water*  |
| Pentacles |Jack-King| ***Gilded.***  |
| Pentacles |6-10| ***Fortuitus Shield.***  |
| Pentacles |1-5| *Mold Earth*  |
| Staves |Jack-King| ***Fire Lasso.*** |
| Staves |6-10| ***Wit Sap.*** |
| Staves |1-5| *Control Flames*  |


#### Major Arcana
The Major Arcana are another set of cards in a tarot deck that are titled and number from 0 to XXI. As you grow in level, you enchant more and more Arcana with powerful magics and learn new spells. The Major Arcana are not randomly chosen, but instead you decide when to cast the spells learned. You may cast each Major Arcana spell once per long rest.

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Minor and Major Arcana spells, since you use your presence to connect to destiny and fate to change them. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a dealer spell you cast and when Making an Attack roll with one.

<div style="text-align: center">
**Spell save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

**Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
</div>


<div class='pageNumber'>6</div>
\page
##### Major Arcana Learned
| Level | Spells Learned |
|:---|:------------|
| 1 | The Fool, I The Magician |
| 2 | II The High Priestess |
| 3 | III The Empress, IV The Emperor, V The Hierophant |
| 4 | VI The Lovers |
| 5 | VII The Chariot, VIII Strength |
| 6 | IX The Hermit |
| 7 | X Wheel of Fortune |
| 8 | XI Justice |
| 9 | XII The Hanged Man, XIII Death |
| 10 | XIV Temperance |
| 11 | XV The Devil |
| 13 | XVI The Tower |
| 15 | XVII The Star |
| 17 | XVIII The Moon |
| 18 | XIX The Sun |
| 19 | XX Judgement |
| 20 | XXI The World |


#### Fate Vision
When you open your eyes for the first time at 3rd level, you see the world from a different viewpoint. Once per short rest as a bonus action, you may enter a form of blindsight for 10 minutes. You may still be affected by magical darkness. Visually this is seen as vague neon outlines of living things, and the invisible lines of fate that connect them and circumstance. Certain benefits and penalties apply with this newfound sensation.

- Advantage on Perception (Sound, Touch) and Insight
- Advantage on Arcana when viewing a magical item
- Advantage on saves against or to see through illusions


- Disadvantage on Perception/Investigation (Sight)
- Disadvantage on ranged weapon attacks
- Disadvantage on saves against thunder

You gain a second use of Fate Vision per Short Rest at 8th level, and Fate Vision gains True Sight at 14th level.

#### Bending Fate
At 6th level, when you draw from the Minor Arcana, you instead choose your cantrip based on the suit only and not the draw. If you draw a swords suited card for instance, you may choose to cast either the Unfortune, Logic Pause, or Gust cantrips.

In addition, if you choose to let a card explode on you after you draw from the Minor Arcana, roll a d10. On a  8, 9, or 10, you can immediately cast a Major Arcana spell without expending it's use for the day, provided that the spell level is no greater than 1/4 your total level, with a minimum of 1. You also take no damage from the explosion on a 8, 9, or 10.

```
```



#### Star Speaker
When you reach 9th level, you find that as you can read the cards, you can read the stars as well. You always know exactly where you are if you can see the stars and roll with advantage when the roll is regarding the stars or constellations. In addition, you always know which direction is north, and you gain proficiency with navigating waterborne vehicles at night.

You also become so adept at reading the cards that you can sense things about people or places even if they are not there. This power functions much like the spell *Scrying* does for the purposes of it's saving throws:

Once per short rest you may attempt to divine information about a subject of your choice. Though you cannot see or hear your subject, you may know it's current feelings, immediate thoughts and situation, and one question about it's immediate future (up to 1 hour) must be answered truthfully by the DM.


#### Soothing Soothsayer
You truly become connected to the cards after your prolonged use. At 14th level, when you use a  Minor Arcana card, you may spend a bonus action to regain health equal to the card's face value. Aces count as one and face cards continue on from 10 (e.g. Jack = 11.)

#### Foresight
You gain flashes of the future at 17th level. When a creature attacks you, as a reaction you may draw a Minor Arcana card and immediately use it's effect on either yourself or that creature. The effect of the card resolves before that creature's attack does.

### Summoner
Sometimes the magic enchanting the cards makes them take a life of their own. The dealer weilding them can see the life blooming inside of them, and use their energies to conjure powerful creatures to their aid.

#### Face Deck
The standard 52 card deck (plus two jokers) is split into two halves. Jacks, Queens, Kings, Aces, and Jokers are enchanted with the power to call forth  unique creatures, while the numbered cards are enchanted with lesser magics. These two portions create two separate decks.

At 1st level you gain access to the face deck and can summon creatures when you throw down a card. The face deck contains all of the Jacks, Queens, Kings, Aces, and Jokers of a deck. The cards from this deck may not be drawn for your hand when rolling initiative.

You may spend an action to draw a card from the face deck and summon it on an unoccupied space within 10 feet of yourself. The summoned creature does not have its own intiative and may not act without your permission. You must use your action to give telepathic commands for the creature to follow, at which point the creature gains a full turn to spend.  

You may use this feature a number of times equal to your charisma modifier per short rest, and the creature remains loyal and follows your orders for ten minutes, or until the creature's HP reaches zero, at which point it vanishes.


You must shuffle the face deck before you draw a card from it. Cards drawn from the Face Deck may not be added to a dealer's hand with the Stacked Deck feature. When a card is drawn and used, it is discarded from the deck until a long rest.

Creatures summoned from the face deck gain upgraded features at 5th, 10th, 15th, and 18th levels. The creatures are detailed at the end of the class focus.

#### Numbered Deck
The rest of the 36 cards have the magical prowess to support your summoned creature. The cards drawn for your hand as part of the Stacked Deck feature come from this deck. 

Starting at 3rd level, after a creature is summoned via the face deck, you may expend a summoning point and spend your bonus action to draw a card from the Numbered Deck and use it's effects immediately upon the summoned creature. The effects last until the start of your next turn unless otherwise stated. You gain a number of Summoning Points equal to your charisma modifier plus half your Dealer level, minimum 1. You regain these Summoning Points following a long rest.

Refer to the table on the right for what effect corresponds to the drawn card.



#### Empowered Creatures
When you reach 6th level, the creatures you summon come as extra variants based on the suit they are drawn as. This affords each creature powerful abilities depending on the suit drawn. Refer to the creature stat blocks for the corresponding suit-special abilities.

```
```

#### Top Decking
Starting at 9th level, you may choose to draw up to half your charisma modifier (minimum 1) in cards from your face deck as a replacement for that many numbered deck cards as part of your hand at the start of combat. (E.G., if your hand size is 4 and your charisma score is 4, two of the four cards drawn for your hand during intiative may be from the Face Deck.)



#### Legendary Cards
Your deck is upgraded with fancy holographic foiled cards that contain much more power within them. At 14th level, your summons may take any of their actions immediately following the end of another creature's turn up to three times per summon.

#### Blank Card
Once per month at 17th level, you may create one blank card that is not part of your deck. You may not have more one of these blank cards at a time. This card vanishes upon a failed use, and returns to you on a short rest. Upon a successful use, you gain another BLank Card in 48 hours.

When you use this card against a creature, it must make a Constitution saving throw. If the creature's CR is half of your level or lower - or it has a quarter or less of its health left, it makes this save at disadvantage. If the creature's CR is above your level, it must currently have half of its maximum HP left in order for the effect to work. Upon a failed save, this card is added to your Face Deck, and you may summon this creature at the level it was captured as you would any other card you would draw from that deck.

<div style="text-align: center">
&nbsp;&nbsp;**Blank Card DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
</div>


##### Numbered Deck
| Card | Effect |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 2  | Choose one ability. For one turn, your summoned creature is granted a +2 bonus to that ability score. |
| 3  | You choose whether your summoned creature grows one size category larger or smaller. Its land movement speed, reach, and attack damage raise or lower by 5 respectively, though its AC raises or lowers by 2 inversely. |
| 4 | Choose one ability. For one turn, your summoned creature makes all related ability checks with advantage. |
| 5 | Your summoned creature gains truesight for one turn. |
| 6 | For one turn, your summoned creature is insivible to everyone including yourself. |
| 7 | When your summoned creature deals damage this turn, you may heal yourself for a quarter of the damage dealt. |
| 8 | Your summoned creature is healed for 2d8. You may expend your hit dice for extra healing. |
| 9 | Your summoned creature gains sentience and acts of its own accord (DMs decision) for three rounds. It considers you and your allies as friends.|
| 10 | Your current summon gains the ability to take a single action immediately after another creature's turn once this round. |

Each humanoid in a 20-foot-radius Sphere centered on the figure you create within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. A creature can choose to fail this saving throw if it wishes. 

If a creature fails its saving throw the figure will convince them that their current course of action (whether combat, traveling, researching, etc.) is foolish and stop to pursue something else for the duration of the spell.

When the spell ends, the creature returns to its previous nature, unless the DM rules otherwise.

If this spell is cast on a sleeping subject, the figure appears in the subject's dream.

#### XIII Death
*5th-level transmutation*

- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 or 10 minutes

Choose one willing creature within range to give one of the two effects to:

- **Change.** <br>The transformation lasts for 10 minutes, or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. The new form can be any creature whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's (or the target's level, if it doesn't have a challenge rating). Above CR 5, only beasts may be chosen. The target's game Statistics, including mental Ability Scores, are replaced by the Statistics of the chosen creature. <br><br>
The target assumes the hit points of its new form. When it reverts to its normal form, the creature returns to the number of hit points it had before it transformed. If it reverts as a result of Dropping to 0 Hit Points, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce the creature's normal form to 0 hit points, it isn't knocked Unconscious. <br><br>
The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form and the target's gear melds into the new form. The creature can't activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its Equipment.


- **Immortality** <br>For the duration of the spell, the target cannot fall Unconcious due to loss of hitpoints to zero. The target continues to act as normal. Instead, any damage taken that would bring the target past zero goes into a pool of negative hitpoints. If the target is lower than zero hitpoints when the spell ends or the target's negative hitpoint pool equals their maximum hit points, the target has a 50% chance of dying immediately.<br><br>

On a failed save, the target must gorge upon the feast of debauchery and may not move or take any actions, bonus actions, or reactions. On a success, the creature is immune to the draw of the banquet. A creature within 5 feet of an effected target may use their action to snap them out of it and effect the effect for that creature.

  ### Empowered
  Ace's animated armor can come in a variety of styles.
  
***Clubs - Red Armor.*** Ace comes superheated and red hot. He will attack and persue the closest enemy visible. When that enemy is no longer visible or dead, it will move on to the next one. The summoner has no control over Ace and Ace acts of its own accord without spending the summoner's action.

***Spades - Breathing Armor.*** All ranged attacks are absorbed into its armor. Ace may distribute the damage from the preceding turn as healing to allies within 15 feet as an action.

***Hearts - Glazed Armor.*** Ace gains a move speed of 30 and no longer has the *lumbering* attribute.

***Diamonds - Thorn Armor.*** Half the damage Ace takes from a weapon (prior to resistance or immunity) is reflected and dealt to the target that attacked Ace.

___
> ## Joker
>*Medium outsider, chaotic neutral*
> ___
> Joker first presents itself as a ghoulish and skeletal figure that features a flurry of cards on its own. It is in fact a manifestation of chaos from within the cards, and everything about it, including the way it appears, moves, and acts always feels wrong and out of place, much like the card itself.

> - **Challenge** ?
> ___
> ***Dopple Ganger.*** When a Joker is summoned, the DM must choose an ally of the Summoner (though not the summoner itself.) It's level must be equal to or lower than the Summoner's level. The Joker becomes a doppleganger of that ally, inheriting its appearance, stats, skills, abilities, memories, voice, and personality. It does not inherit any magical items however. If that ally has spells, it inherits the spell slots that the ally currently has, and may only use the spells that the ally had previously prepared.
> ### Actions
> ***Glitch.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* Using the statistics of the cloned individual, the Joker may make a melee touch attack (STR or DEX) that ignores armor. If touched, the target takes 1/4th of its current HP in damage. If the creature were to fall to 0 HP or lower from this attack, it does nothing instead.
>

<div class='descriptive'>
  ### Empowered
  Not everyone has multiple jokers that come with their deck, and given the nature of the summon, these are not entirely important. But if you do have two - differentiate between the two of them when drawn.
  
***Color.*** Joker may make the *Glitch* action as a ranged spell from a distance of 60 feet with a CON save, the DC of which is determined using the cloned individual's charisma score.

***Black & White.*** The *Glitch* ignores any stat boosts to AC other than dexterity, such as *Unarmored Defense* or *Natural Armor*.
