The Deck of Foes is bursting with potential. It can either be used as a magic item capable summoning challenging monsters in combat and therefore very dangerous in the wrong hand, or as a DM resource to create random and unique encounters for the player characters to face.
Each foe is assigned a card in a normal deck of cards, from 2 (lowest challenge rating) to the Ace (highest). The lower creatures are tricky opponents where as the highest ranks can be terrifying!
Each suit has a theme linking all creatures of that type.
Hearts: Magic
Diamonds: Mutation
Spades: Weapons
Clubs: Nature
Thanks to its simple, scalable stats, each card is suitable for low (1-4), mid (5-8), high (9-12), and epic (13-20) level parties.
