Cartomancer (2024)

General Feat (Prerequisite: Level 4+)

You gain the following benefits.

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

Spellcasting Focus. You can use a card deck as your Spellcasting Focus.

Minor Tricks. You learn the Prestidigitation cantrip, and can use it to create illusions that duplicate the effects of small sleight-of-hand magic and card tricks. When you cast Prestidigitation while holding a card deck, you can conceal the verbal and somatic components of the spell as ordinary conversation, hand gestures and card handling.

Hidden Ace. When you finish a Long Rest, you can choose one spell from your class’s spell list and imbue it into a card. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and be of a level for which you have spell slots, and you must have casted the spell before, either normally or using a magic item such as a Spell Scroll. If the spell is on your spell list but of a higher level than you can normally cast, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability for that class to determine whether you imbue the spell into the card. The DC equals 10 plus the spell’s level. On a failed check, the attempt fails, and you must finish a Long Rest before you can use this feature again. While a card is imbued with a spell, you can use a Magic action to flourish the card and cast the spell using your spellcasting ability for the class that has the spell on its spell list and expending a spell slot of that spell’s level or higher. The card loses its magic when you cast the spell imbued within or finish a Long Rest.
