<br>
The Fates are an ancient and mischievous set of three sisters who work know the destiny and future of everyone. They act in mysterious ways that lead them to interfere in the lives of creatures at times. Fate is a thing seldom altered but some may be able to influence or see what may perhaps be in the future. The chaotic and strange nature of The Fates will sometimes give those who make a pact with them great power but other times might lead to that power blowing up in their face.

### cards of fate

At the first level you posses 10 cards of fate. Theses cards are infused with the powers of The Fates themselves, their powers are able to be used when the card is drawn as an act of fate from the deck by those who make a pact with them. After a long rest you are allowed to roll a d10, X amount of times based on your level shown in the table, to determine which of the 10 cards of fate you possess and can use at the start of combat to alter the battle until the next long rest.

Once used at the start of combat the cards power is consumed making it useless until the next long rest is over. After rolling for a card you must then flip a coin, heads means the card is its normal powers will occur while tails means its powers are in reverse.

Once the cards have been drawn you have the option to reroll the cards but the fates do not like trying to defy their will but will allow you to reroll all the cards for new ones but at a cost. The last card you get will become marked and have the chance to become a cursed card. If you choose a marked card during the start of a combat as your card of fate you must flip a coin to see if the card will function normally or the card will become cursed and have negative effects. Your first reroll will make 1 card marked, a second reroll will cause 2 of your cards, ect.

The effects of the card of fate last until the single fight they are used at the beginning of are over, the card must be decided upon and selected before initiative is calculated and only one card may be used during a single battle.

### Reading the cards
Starting at the 6th level using the power of the cards you can perform a ritual that takes 10 minutes before taking a long rest to know if you will or will not be attacked or ambushed by anyone during your long rest.

### Change of fate
Starting at the 10th level you can have the power of fate swing in your favor when you need it the most. When you roll and fail a saving throw, one time, you can redo the saving throw but this time with advantage. After using this ability a long or short rest is required to use it again.

### Thread of life
Starting at 14th level you can use the powers of the fates to put a curse on a single creature. The fates hold the power of life and death in a single string that can be cut at any moment. When you use this ability target creature must make a wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. If it fails the save it takes 8d6 necrotic damage while on a successful save they take half as much damage. At level 19 the damage on a failed save goes to 10d6. Once you use this ability it requires a long rest as well as an offering to the fates to be used again. 
<div style='margin-top:10px;'></div>

(The offering to the fates includes a ritual that is to be done after a long rest, the player pours 3 cups of wine for the fates then the player proceeds to pour 3 drops of their blood into each of the cups of wine a piece of rope or string is to then be tied around each of the cups to connect them together)
