I'm having recollections of there being a Magical Item similar to Deck of many things that summoned monsters, but I can't find it. I'm trying to make a character built on Deck of Many Things, and i would really like to know if there are any other items like that. Thanks in advance for the help.

Deck of Illusions (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#deckofIllusions) is the only thing close that I know of.

There's the Bags of Tricks. Roy had a crappy version of one in OOTS.

No, I think that's the regular Bag of Tricks. It just sucks that much.

Am I wrong in having the feeling you're going after something akin to Card Captor Sakura?

QFT, it really does. Can be fun to use, but definitely not useful.

Dunno, rhino's are neat. And bears. Never forget Winnie Pooh's.

That's only in the best of the three bags. The first one is only really good for triggering traps.

I'm trying to make a character built on Deck of Many Things,

The Deck of Many Things is a Minor Artifact. Not only that, it's a Minor Artifact designed for the sole purpose of randomly sending the world to hell and consuming everything in chaos and disruption. How do you intend to make a character based off it?

...Fatespinner? :smalltongue:



Actually I don't know how a whole character based just on the DoMT would work out, but I know there's a lot you could do with a character based around Fate and Luck. I mean, it seems like half of Complete Scoundrel was [Luck] feats and stuff related to them.

I had a character pretty much based on a Deck of Many Things, a Bag of Tricks, and every other random item I could find. Just take enough levels of Wild Mage and you get to roll twice for each item each time and pick which result to use.

There is indeed a deck of summoning, don't remember what book it's in though. Might try the Magic Item Compendium. It sucked pretty bad though.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who saw 'Deck of Breasts?' when they looked at the title? :smalleek:

You weren't.

Anyway, you could make a use-activated single charged magical item shaped like a card that casts summon monster x.

Exactly.
That'll be 3825gp:smallamused:
7650gp if you aren't a caster. :smalleek:

Do you take payment in slabs of iron?

I don't know of any magic items or artifacts that do anything of that nature, but I do know that a while back I homebrewed a class based off of turning creatures (and spells and items and eventually planar fragments) into cards that could then be released to fight for you. You might find it helpful, though you might want to alter the mechanics a bit as they are rather confusing.
