🔮So what can you use a Fate Finder for in YOUR game? 🔮
Using props can be fun for players, but you need to be prepared. We've thought of some creative uses for this in your game and why this could act as a special prop for special circumstances.
Prop for Fortune Telling or Divination The Fate Finder could serve as an in-game artifact—a mystical object or ancient oracle that characters consult to divine the future or seek guidance from the gods.
Skill Challenge Enhancer During a skill challenges, introduce the Fate Finder as an extra layer of randomness. Players make their normal checks , but the Fate Finder is shaken for bonus effects or consequences.
A Limited-Use, Player-Owned Artifact Each player could have a set number of uses of the Fate Finder per session. They shake it to add a bit of luck or fate into their action outcomes.
A Plot Device for Character Arcs The Fate Finder could play a role in a character’s backstory or side quest, being a relic they must find or use to accomplish a personal goal. This could involve divining their fate or using it to unlock a hidden potential.
An Important Relic in the Game’s World Make the Fate Finder a legendary object within the game world that all characters know of—an item of lore that players must seek out, protect, or use to change the course of history.
For flavor, perhaps you can have it function as...
An Ancient Puzzle Key - Characters must bring the Fate Finder to specific locations or “nodes” within a dungeon. At each node, they shake it and record the number; after collecting a sequence, they unlock the secret.
A Time-Turning Relic - Players can shake the Fate Finder to reset a scene, room, or battle, using the number as a countdown for how many turns they go back.
A Mirror of Alternate Realities - Allow players to shake the Fate Finder in moments of indecision. The number corresponds to a version of the event that happens in another dimension, giving players insight without changing the main timeline.
A Fate Wagering Artifact - Before taking risky actions, players can wager on a high or low outcome using the Fate Finder. For example, if they bet high and roll an 11-20, they receive a boost to their roll; if they lose the wager, there’s a consequence.
A Luck-Stealing Artifact - The Fate Finder can be shaken to borrow a “lucky” number. The number revealed comes with a risk: the Fate Finder “steals” that luck from the player’s next roll, reversing it.
A Memory Keeper - The Fate Finder holds memories of past lives. Players can shake the Fate Finder to receive “memories” or fragments of skill from their past lives, or someone else's.

We will create new Fate Finder Oracles for Fortune to include topics for Fortune and Misfortune. And we will create some fun RPG Generators to use.
Wow, I'm impressed. So Fenn, lets the thief go (almost demanding his belongings back). Many of you are kind. Let's see if he can make it to the Hall of Luck.
Thanks again for your support. ~Thomas and the Sundial Games family.
