So I am making a homebrew warlock subclass who as a bonus action can draw a card from a deck to make fun random good or bad effects happen similarly to the wild magic table and was struggling to come up with fun ideas and so I wanted to ask if any one else had any good ideas.
Edit - I forgot to specify how the table will work, sorry.
So to find out what the effect will be you draw from an actual deck of cards and the number and color will decide what the effect will be with the color deciding if it is a good or bad outcome and the number deciding what good or bad effect you get.
- a 10 ft deep hole suddenly appears under the caster, if they are standing on the ground.
- the caster's eyes turn black, they gain 120 ft darkvision for 1 hour.
Clubs:
- black ants erupt from a location of your choice within 30 feet of you becoming a swarm of insects, they move and attack the closest creature they can sense. The swarm disperses after 1 minute.
Hearts:
Diamonds:
Face Cards:
Black King : the caster can cast [spells]Animal Friendship[/splls] without expending a spellslot for the next hour.
King of Hearts : a Longsword appears in your hand, make a Wisdom saving throw against your own spell save DC, on a failure you stab yourself with the sword, deal 1d8 slashing damage to yourself. The sword vanishes the next time you draw a card.
King of Diamonds : a War Axe appears in your hand made of pure diamond, when this axe hits its target it deals damage equal to a critical hit and the weapon shatters into dust. The axe vanishes the next time you draw a card.
Queen of Spades - the caster becomes shrouded in a dark cloak and veil, you have advantage on stealth checks while in dim light or darkness until your next long rest, or you change your attire.
Queen of Hearts - the caster's feet are forced to run as fast as they can at all times, but their movement speed is reduced to 0.
Queen of Diamonds - a single diamond worth 100 gp appears at the feet of the target of your spell.
Queen of Clubs - Each time you deal necrotic damage before the end of your next turn, you regain hit points equal to the damage dealt.
One Eyed Jack (Jack of Spades/Hearts) - the caster's eyes fuse together into only one eye, they have disadvantage on Perception checks until they finish a long rest.
Two-Eyed Jacks (Diamonds/Clubs) - a riding horse in full riding tack appears in an open space within 5 ft of you, it is friendly to you and obeys your commands.
