Marishana - The Half-Orc Wild Oracle
Marishana is back and looking better than ever! It’s been years since the last time I’ve gotten to play as her, so I’m really excited to be getting to use her again in an upcoming campaign. Albeit with some changes. Marishana was originally a Magus class in our Pathfinder campaign, but since there’s no Magus class equivalent in D&D I’ll be using a homebrewed class created by Weird Works LLC called The Wild Oracle.
The Wild Oracle is unique magic/melee class that utilizes a specialized tarot deck to add a randomizing element the spells you cast. It does this by giving you an 8 card starting deck and having you draw from that deck whenever you want to cast a spell. Each card has a different spell like effect, so while some cards can be powerful, you won’t always be able to rely on them to show up when you need them. As you level up you add more powerful cards to your deck and choose from 1 of 3 different Oracle paths that either give you more control of you draws or let you embrace the decks chaotic nature.
To learn more about The Wild Oracle class, check out the free PDF content available for The Empress Tarot Deck in the Weird Works shop. The deck itself is beautiful (as you can see with the two cards shown above). The fact that they’ve also created a fun D&D class that lets you put it to use is just icing on the cake. I can’t wait to try it out!
