Divine Gamble

Patron’s Response

• 🎲 Exact Match (Jackpot!): Your patron is overjoyed. You regain one expended 1st-level spell slot. The target takes 3d8 radiant/necrotic damage, and you gain temporary hit points equal to half the damage dealt.
• 🎲 Off by 1-2: Your patron is pleased. The target takes 2d8 radiant/necrotic damage, and you gain temporary hit points equal to your spellcasting modifier.
• 🎲 Off by 3-5: Your patron grants minor favor. The target takes 1d8 damage, and you gain a +1 bonus to your next attack roll or saving throw within 1 minute.
• 🎲 Off by 6-10: Your patron acknowledges the gamble but offers only a faint boon. You deal damage equal to your spellcasting modifier, and nothing else happens.
• 🎲 Off by 11-15 (Unlucky!): Your patron is unimpressed. Instead of aiding you, the spell backfires, dealing 1d8 damage to YOU instead of the target.
• 🎲 Off by 16 or more (Catastrophic Failure!): Your patron is angry at your poor wager. The spell explodes in a 10-foot radius, dealing 1d6 damage to ALL creatures within range (including allies) (Dexterity save for half)

Damage type: Your target takes radiant (if divine) or necrotic (if eldritch) damage

Range: 30 feet (primary target), 10-foot radius (backlash effect)
