Bloodline harrow
Cast [two-actions] somatic, verbal
Range 30 feet; Targets 1 creature
Saving Throw Will; Duration 1 round
You draw a card from the harrow, either one from a deck you have in hand or magically produce one as part of the spell. You use the power of the card's suit to influence a creature around you. When you draw a card, you can choose to impart a boon or bane associated with the card's suit. The target must attempt a Will save. On a failure, they receive the effects of the chosen boon or bane. If you target an ally with this spell, they can choose to willingly accept the effects without attempting a saving throw. The target can attempt to remove the card's influence by using an action, which has the concentrate trait, to attempt the saving throw again; on a success, the effect ends.

To determine the card, draw a card from a harrow deck. If you don't have a harrow deck available, you can roll 1d6 to randomly determine the suit you draw.
  1. Hammers (Str) Boon: The target gains a +2 status bonus to damage rolls; Bane: The target is enfeebled 1.

  6. Crowns (Cha) Boon: The target can roll twice and take the higher result on a single check during the duration. This is a fortune effect; Bane: The target must roll twice and take the lower result on a single check of your choosing during the duration. This is a misfortune effect.
    Heightened (6th) The duration is 1 minute. The target must succeed a total of two saving throws to end the effect. The value of boons and banes doubles. The Crowns suit affects a total of three checks during the duration.
