So in my home group I have been tasked with running Curse of Strahd, and so my research and preparation begins. First I need a list of Tarokka cards (in the new Gale Force 9 edition) so that I can come up with uses for them:
Pentacles - Wizard (Master), Transmuter (1), Diviner (2), Enchanter (3), Abjurer (4), Elementalist (5), Evoker (6), Illusionist (7), Necromancer (8), Conjurer (9)
Swords - Warrior (Master), Avenger (1), Paladin (2), Soldier (3), Mercenary (4), Myrmidon (5), Berserker (6), Hooded One (7), Dictator (8), Torturer (9)
Coins - Rogue (Master), Swashbuckler (1), Philanthropist (2), Trader (3), Merchant (4), Guild Member (5), Beggar (6), Thief (7), Tax Colletor (8), Miser (9)
Glyphs - Priest (Master), Monk (1), Missionary (2), Healer (3), Shepherd (4), Druid (5), Anarchist (6), Charlatan (7), Bishop (8), Traitor (9)
High Deck - Ghost, Tempter, Seer, Raven, Donjon, Mists, Darklord, Marionette, Broken One, Innocent, Beast, Horseman, Artifact, Executioner
It has been hinted that the deck will be used to set up random encounters to make each play through of CoS unique, and that sounds awesome. But I want to do more with the deck. Some initial thoughts include:
Addition to Initiative, possibly with special effects
Effect on Critical Hits and Fumbles
Represent Inspiration, possibly granting additional abilities depending upon card gained
