Fortune Cards (4e Index)

Fortune Cards are an optional collectible card supplement to 4th edition D&D.

These cards are sold in booster packs of 8 cards each - 5 common, 2 uncommon, and 1 rare.

Usage

A fortune card deck is obtained by purchasing boxes or booster packs. Currently, there are five sets: Shadow of Nentir Vale, Glory of Neverwinter, Fury of the Feywild, Spiral of Tharizdun and Drow Treachery.

A deck can be constructed by combinind all boosters from a set of fortune cards. If you instead want to use a custom deck, your may use any cards from the set but must have an exact multiple of 10 cards and have each attack, defense and tactic categories represent at least 30% of the cards (i.e. For every 10 cards, 3 must be in Attack, 3 must be in Defence, and 3 must be in Tactics.)

At the start of each encounter, all cards in a deck are shuffled. At the start of the turn, you may draw one card (discarding the one already in hand). Cards may be played at any time, and take no action to do so.
