Draw of the Arcana

When you finish a long rest, draw three tarot cards representing the magical energies surrounding you. You can expend a tarot card to gain advantage on a saving throw or ability check related to the drawn card's symbolism. The number of uses is equal to your Intelligence or Charisma modifier (whichever is higher) before finishing a long rest.

Fateweaver's Insight

Your connection with the tarot cards deepens, allowing you to glimpse into the threads of fate with unparalleled clarity. When you use Draw of the Arcana at the end of a long rest, you can choose one additional card and select the most favorable outcome for your next action.

Once per short rest, when you or an ally within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can use your reaction to subtly influence fate. The creature can add a d4 to the roll, representing your guidance.

Twist of Fate

Once per long rest, when you roll a d20 for an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can choose to reroll and save the die for later and use the second result instead.

Fates Entwined

You can now draw four tarot cards at the end of a long rest. Additionally, when you use  Draw of the Arcana, you can expend two cards at once to gain advantage on an attack roll or to impose disadvantage on an enemy's attack roll.
