Magic and Cards
Wild oracles seek knowledge from the Fates and harness
power through their arcane decks. Built over years, a full
deck can consist of dozens of cards, each selected and
crafted by the oracle to aid their allies, inhibit their
enemies, and occasionally tap into unspeakable power.

While there is no doubt that the cards are powerful, the
apparent randomness of the Fates can bemuse those who
cross the oracle’s path, be they ally or enemy. The oracle
has access to an array of martial and magical abilities, but
their ultimate potential comes from mastering their decks.

Arcane Artisans
Wild oracles study the arcane just as much as their craft,
researching the signs of power to design and create each
card in their deck. Each oracle’s deck is rendered by hand,
and therefore, unique to them. Each gold-flecked line is
carefully constructed to shape the raw magic at the heart of
their decks. The deck serves as an instrument, taking the
oracle’s arcane power, and shaping it into useful spell-like
effects. However, the deck is also a connection to
mysterious powers beyond the reach of most mortals.

The “wild” is always present, even with those who have
mastered their profession. The deck gains as much
strength from the whims of fortune as it does from the soul
of the bearer. For the wild oracle, chaos is power and part
of the balance of the Fates.

from your deck, and reroll any attack roll, ability check, or
saving throw you have just made. This feature may only be

Card Summon

Starting at 14th level, as a bonus action, you can summon
any card in your deck to your Fate's Hand. To summon a
card, search your deck for the card of your choice. After
summoning a card, you must shuffle your deck. You may

Fate of the Frenzied
You have not only studied the artistry of crafting the cards
in your deck, but you've also extensively studied the combat
arts. You thrive on using the cards to enhance your combat
abilities.

Bonus Proficiencies

When committing to the Fate of the Frenzied at 3rd level,
you gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and
martial weapons.

Card Lock

Also at 3rd level, you learn to lock your most useful cards in
place so they are always available to use when you need
them. After completing a long rest, choose one card in your
deck and place it face up in front of you. When using your
Wild Tarot feature, instead of drawing from the deck, you

10th level, you may select two cards to lock, and at 15th
level, you may select three cards.

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Nimble Fingers

Starting at 10th level, whenever you take the Attack action,
you can use a bonus action to simultaneously make a card
draw. The card draw resolves before the attack action.

Third Eye Scry

Starting at 14th level, you may first use your Scrying
feature as a bonus action. Additionally, you may now use
Scrying three times before a rest.
