Finesse, Light, Thrown (Range 20/60), Special* *To use this weapon, you must have a standard deck of playing cards with you, including 52 cards and 2 Jokers. This weapon cannot be used for melee attacks and must be thrown. When you take the Attack action or cast a spell using these cards, draw the top card of the deck and discard it, setting it aside. You can choose to shuffle the discarded cards back in when all the cards have been discarded or when you take a short rest, and you must shuffle all your cards back in when you take a long rest. When casting a spell, one of the following effects occurs, based on the card you draw: Ace of Spades. If using a spell that targets an opponent, you automatically hit with a critical hit. If the spell requires a saving throw, the creature automatically fails (or critically fails if you use that rule). If a healing spell was cast, double the number of hit points restored. Any other effect of the spell occurs as normal. (All Other) Aces. If using a spell that targets an opponent, you have advantage on the attack roll. If the spell requires a saving throw, the creature has disadvantage on the saving throw. If a healing spell was cast, double the number of hit points restored. Any other effect of the spell occurs as normal. Twos. The spell fails to activate. You still lose the spell slot. Threes. If using a spell that targets an opponent, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. If the spell requires a saving throw, the creature has advantage on the saving throw. If a healing spell was cast, divide the number of hit points restored by two, rounding down. If it causes any other effect, the spell fails to activate, and you lose the spell slot. Fours. If using a spell that targets an opponent, you automatically miss with a critical failure. If the spell requires a saving throw, the creature automatically succeeds (or critically succeeds if you use that rule). If using a healing spell, the target is damaged instead of healed. If it causes any other effect, the spell cannot activate, but you still lose the spell slot. Fives. The spell activates as normal. Sixes. The spell activates as normal. Sevens.
