clue
Wands: The betrayer will be someone who jealously
guards what they consider theirs, and believes your mere presence a threat to them

fine
Wands: All forms of wealth that you carry or own,
other than magic items, are lost to you; all businesses, buildings, and land you
own are forfeit as well
Cups: The proceedings are fraudulent; your only hope
of leaving with any of the money you carry is to defeat the fiendish magistrate and
his thugs
Swords: You triumph in the suit due to the wisdom of
the magistrate; the false claimant is forced to pay you 25,000 silver pieces for
slandering your name
Pentacles: You must pay 100 silver pieces, but due to
your heroism being discovered during testimony, you receive a Guildhall (DMG pg.
128) as a gift

Wisdom score by 2; the score can exceed 20 but can't exceed 24

contemplating the
six symbols upon the tree for nine days and
nine nights; after this ordeal, you take a -2 penalty on saving throws forevermore
Cups: You are offered a cup from the Well of
Knowledge, but the price is one of your eyes; you have disadvantage on all ranged
attacks further than 30 feet
Swords: You receive the skull of the dead god of
knowledge and wisdom; you only receive the bonus to your Wisdom score when you
carry the skull on your person
Pentacles: In exchange for a drink of the Mead of Wisdom,
you must labor for in the service of its keeper for a summer and fall, for 180
downtime days total
XIII. Death All suits: An avatar of death appears and gives you a
choice; either fight for your life, face the avatar in a game of chess, or
designate a friend or benefactor
whose life will be taken in your stead; if
you lose or choose to sacrifice a benefactor, the dead character can never be
raised from the dead
XIV. Temperance All suits: A wondrous item (which the DM determines
randomly) appears in your hands
Wands: As you grasp the magic item, you become aware
of a legitimate buyer who will gladly pay 100% of the value of the item you just
gained
Cups: As you grasp the magic item, you become aware
of a shady buyer who will pay up to 150% the value of the item, no questions asked
Swords: As you grasp the magic item, a Shield Guardian
(MM pg.271) and two Spectators (MM pg.30) appear to attack you and reclaim the item
Pentacles: A religious sect desires the magic item you
gained; they will offer to pay 50% the value of the item, but will become hostile
if you refuse
XV. The Devil All suits: A powerful devil becomes your enemy, seeking
to make you suffer before attempting to slay you; this enmity lasts until either
you or the devil dies

creature or NPC; everything you were wearing or carrying is left behind, and you
draw no more cards

combat in a dark area, you are beset by Shadows (MM pg.269) from all sides
XIX. The Sun All suits: Gain 20,000 XP instantly, and twenty-five
pieces of jewelry with a base value of 2000 sp each appear at your feet
XX. Judgement All suits: You are whisked away for Judgement, a one-week
period during which you must perform a variety of ordeals; at the end of this time,
your Constitution
score increases by 2, as does your maximum
for that score; the verdict of the Judgement is also given at this time
Wands: Your cooperation is rewarded at the end of
Judgement; fifty base 1000 sp gems appear at your feet in addition to the primary
effect
Cups: Your motives are found to disrupt the balance;
your alignment becomes the opposite, or switches to some absolute commitment if it
is presently neutral
Swords: Your prowess at arms is found worthy; a rare
or rarer magic weapon with which you are proficient appears in your hands
Pentacles: Your cleverness is found disruptive; whichever
of your Intelligence or Wisdom scores is lower decreases by 1d4+1 points, and you
make one extra draw
XXI. The World All suits: You can avoid or erase one event as if it
never happened; you can use as soon as you draw the card or at any other time
before you die
