Skill Cards
With these Skill Cards, when you roll a natural 1 or 20 on a Skill roll, the Game Master may have you draw a card from the relevant Skill Deck!
Create more excitement for ALL skill rolls! More involvement! More drama! More fun! We want that 1 or 20 to really mean something! Create a cool game effect, take a situation in a totally new direction, deliver adventure hooks, and more!
Covering EVERY skill in the 5e system, these Skill Cards present many hundreds of unique outcomes when rolling a 1 or a 20 at the right moment!
In combat, most d20 systems reward a natural roll of 20 with a (critical) hit, and a roll of 1 as a miss. But probably the most incorporated house rule in such systems is to apply this effect to all rolls, including skill rolls (some systems also list this as a variant rule).
Though nice to get that 20 and achieve a success in a skill check or roll a 1 and fail in your attempt, such results tend to become routine: “Yes, I manage to climb the wall.” “Ok, you hear what they are whispering about.” “No, you fail to entertain the guests.”
We want to add more excitement to skill rolls! A crucial 20 deserves a reward! A decisive 1 should face a consequence!
