The Fortune Teller
As you're taking a casual stroll through the city, a peculiar looking shop catches your eye. It is a large purple tent radiating a mystical aura in an otherwise mundane settlement. Unable to resist the temptation, you push the curtains aside and cautiously enter the tent.
"Welcome," says an ancient looking humanoid woman. "Have a seat, make yourself comfortable." You walk forward and take a seat at the table before you. The old woman reaches below the table and spreads out several odd looking playing cards across it. "Shall we get started?"
Visions of the Future
When you and your party visit a fortune teller, each of you can have your fortunes read your just 5 gold per person. The fortune teller will then draw a card for you that predicts your future. Each card has a different impact that either takes effect immediately or can be activated once at any point in the next 24 hours, after which the effect vanishes. Some cards predict good fortune, while others may inconvenience you. Once you have your fortune read, you must wait one week to do so again.
The Fool
Infinite Possiblity. You can reroll one failed ability check or saving throw and +1 to the new result. You must choose the new result.

Seeing the Unseen. As a bonus action, you gain darkvision up to 60 feet or 90 feet if you you already possess darkvision. Additionally, you can see invisible creatures and objects within 60 feet of you. Both effects last for 1 minute.

Motherly Guidance. You can take the Help action as a bonus action rather than a normal action.
The Emperor
Powerful and Charismatic. If you are able to cast spells using spell slots, the command and ethrall spells are temporarily added to your list of spells prepared or spells known. Otherwise, you can cast either spell once. The save DC equals 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus.
The Hierophant
Divine Rule. Once in the next 24 hours, you can deal an additional 3d8 radiant damage when you hit a creature with weapon attack.
