Wondrous Rune Tiles

Wondrous item, unique

This set of elaborate runic tiles is always found in an elegant velvet rune bag, and each has an image representing its function. Each person may draw 2-4 tiles, but must declare how many tiles are being drawn before drawing, and must draw out all of the tiles before any take effect. Roll the number of draws and record results. Read them off in order as the player pieces together his fortune from the tiles. A plus sign indicates a positive tile, a minus sign, a negative.

More than one person may draw from the Rune Bag if they do so immediately after one another. The tiles lose their magical properties after being used once, though they may still function as a gaming set or mundane set of soothsayer’s tools, at the GM’s discretion.

If discarded or sold, they will regain their power for their new owner, but the new owner must be a stranger to the previous owner.

There is a cursed version of these tiles as well, the Rune Tiles of Misfortune. These force the user to draw forth twice as many tiles as desired and any positive results are only effective if the user rolls two positive results in a row. The GM then decides which of the two works and which is inert. All negatives are effective.
