The Fey Courts of Kyrell: Wild Chance Table

About This Table

Any time you roll a 1 or a 20 on a d20 while within a region touched by the Fey Courts of Kyrell — a forest hollow singing in Feyen, a mist that smells of Elysor, a bargain-ground between worlds — roll a d100 to determine what grace or mischief the Courts have taken notice of.

All effects are immediate unless otherwise noted. Effects that grant spells use no spell slots and require no material components. The Orders of Wizardry do not regulate these effects. The Courts are aware of this and find it charming.

The Four Courts

Summer Court — Aurath the Ever-Burning: passionate, overwhelming, genuine in the way that burns.
Spring Court — Erevain of the New Thing: well-intentioned, chaotic, always slightly too early or too late.
Autumn Court — Mordavael the Turning: observational, fatalistic, present at endings without causing them.
Winter Court — Thessavaine the Pale: cold, precise, technically correct in the worst possible ways.

Critical Success (Natural 20) — d100

d100	Court	Effect
1-2	Summer	For 10 minutes your voice shifts to an accent from a language you don't speak. Creatures native to the Fey Courts understand every word perfectly.

21-22	Spring	You can breathe underwater and gain a swim speed equal to your land speed for one minute. Erevain thought you looked thirsty.

25-26	Winter	You gain advantage on your next Arcana check. The Winter Court's precision, offered without warmth.

41-42	Spring	You immediately switch positions with a willing or unaware creature of your choice within 30 feet. Erevain sees the appeal.
43-44	Summer	You gain advantage on your next Performance check. The Summer Court requires nothing less than full expression.
45-46	Spring	A fruit from a tree you have never seen appears in your hand. While held or eaten, you gain +2 to all saving throws for 10 minutes. It tastes like a memory of warmth. It dissolves after 10 minutes if not consumed.
47-48	Summer	Cast Color Spray. Aurath's palette, applied without restraint.
49-50	Summer	Gain 1d12 temporary hit points.
51-52	Spring	A food of your choice materializes in your hand, freshly prepared. Erevain has been cooking.
53-54	Winter	You come under the effect of the Tongues spell. The Winter Court honors its agreements, and language is a form of agreement.
55-56	Autumn	You gain advantage on your next initiative roll. Mordavael's gift: he has seen how this moment ends.
57-58	Spring	Cast Fog Cloud centered on yourself. Erevain thought it would help. She is not entirely wrong.
59-60	Summer	Roll one hit die to regain HP. The Summer Court sustains those who burn bright. This is not counted against your hit dice for the rest.
61-62	Winter	You gain advantage on your next Sleight of Hand check. Thessavaine does not approve of visible effort.
63-64	Autumn	For one minute, you gain resistance to the last damage type you took. Mordavael has seen this wound before.

73-74	Winter	Cast Tasha's Hideous Laughter on a target of your choice. The Winter Court finds mortals genuinely funny.

77-78	Spring	You find a pouch containing 100 gp in your pocket or bag. It is Kyrell coin. Erevain is not explaining where she got it.
79-80	Summer	Cast Fireball at 3rd level on a target of your choice. The Summer Court sees you. It approves.
81-82	Summer	You gain expertise in Performance and Persuasion for 10 minutes, but cannot speak, only sing. Aurath requires full commitment.
83-84	Autumn	Cast Borrowed Knowledge on yourself. Mordavael has watched many scholars. Some of it lingered.
85-86	Spring	Your size increases one category for one minute. Erevain overestimated how much she was helping.

91-92	Summer	The Summer Court has taken hold of you. You are intoxicated and magnificent. Advantage on CON saves and Insight checks; disadvantage on DEX saves and Charisma-based checks. All effects last one minute.
93-94	Autumn	Cast Darkness. Mordavael was already here. He simply lets you see it.
95-96	Winter	For one minute, spells you cast with a casting time of one action may be cast as a bonus action instead. The Winter Court is efficient.
97-98	Autumn	Cast Polymorph on a target of your choice. The new form must be the last beast Mordavael watched you encounter. He chose for a reason.
99-100	Winter	You gain one divination roll, to be rolled immediately. It may be used only before your next turn. The Winter Court offers precision, not generosity.

63-64	Winter	You have disadvantage on your next Stealth check. The Winter Court saw exactly where you were going.
