Deck of Illusions is a box that contains a set of parchment cards usually missing 1d20-1 cards. A full deck has 34 cards.[3]
Description[]
The magic of the deck functions only if cards are drawn at random. The owner of the Deck can use an action to draw a card at random from the deck and throw it to the ground at a point within 30 feet of them.[3]
An illusion of one or more creatures forms over the thrown card and remains until dispelled. An illusory creature appears real, of the appropriate size, and behaves as if it were a real creature (listed below). While the owner of the deck is within 120 feet of the illusory creature and can see it, they can use an action to move it magically anywhere within 30 feet of its card. Any physical interaction with the illusory creature reveals it to be an illusion, because objects pass through it. Someone who uses an action to visually inspect the creature identifies it as illusory with a successful check (DC 15 Intelligence). The creature then appears translucent.[4]
The illusion lasts until the card is moved or the illusion is dispelled. When the illusion ends, the image on its card disappears, and that card can't be used again.[5]
