Circle of Natural Chaos (5e Subclass)
 |
This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Chaotic wild shape should likely have a table just as the other features do instead of placing the responsibility on the DM as the pool of potential creatures is so large and will fall entirely upon the DMs familiarity with the creatures of those types. Chaotic cards are an exact copy of the deck of many things less the "Jester", "Ruin", "The Void", and "Throne" cards. The "Sun" card is only slightly modified. Only 19 and 20 are original, even going so far as to include "Only ... the magic of The Fates card".

 |
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: You can use every feature, besides consult the cards, without limit. This subclass has unlimited access to a slightly modified deck of many things.
