Another idea would be to build a tarot deck with each card acting as a sponsor ritual.  This can be used as a draw a card at random for a random effect that may help you or not, or the deck can be used as a divinition tool.

Something more along the lines of this in the random aspect of drawing a card.
So i guess my thing would work something like this the character would be compelled every so often to draw a card putting some type of effect upon the character. The item would cause whatever it gave whether negative or positive until the next card is drawn and the effect changes. So the big thing is what kind of effects should I have happen either positive or negative?

One of my players is planning on having a character who is defined my a magic deck of cards with various effects depending on what is drawn. He will have to regularly draw cards from the deck roughly once an hour. The effects will not only be positive they will just as often be negative. I need help getting stats for it and to figure out the cost. The character is going to be a pure mortal in all likelihood the deck is going to be from some god of chaos or trickery not sure if he obtained or stole it from the god or if he just got it somewhere else and it was made by the god.

I remember there used to be a chat for the rpg but i cannot find it anymore is it still around and do people still use it?
