Deck
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Just like every other Decaton, Deck is shaped like a sphere atop stubby legs, with ten tentacles and four eyes evenly spaced around the sphere. At the top of the sphere is a mouth.
Special abilities
Like all hierarch modrons, Deck has the innate ability to duplicate the effects oc clairaudience, clairvoyance, command, dimension door, teleport without error, and wall of force spells at will. Additionally, it is able to cure injuries and diseases from all modrons within 144ft.
It can communicate telepathically with anyone in a 44 miles radius and can see in complete darkness from up to 40ft. Deck is able to fly by generating a lifting gas that allows it to be lighter than the surrounding air. This however is not able until it reaches outer space.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Deck the Decaton was the first modron recruited by Haiden Lewis. It has served its master gracefully.
Employment
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Deck takes its role as Common Room overseer as seriously as can be. Even though it can't give out the comfort a humanoid bartender could, there is a certain ''charm'' to Deck's horrifying inability to fully commit to creature or robot.
Representation & Legacy
Deck is able to create quite unique drinks. Refer to the table below for his menu. The only person Deck is allowed to serve before 5pm is Maurice ''Rhys'' Lewis.
Compiled per drink protocol 7.3.b. Taste preferences are irrelevant. Effects are not optional.
| Title | Deck's Explanation | Ingredients | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hypothetical Optimism | “Emotional placebo. Effectiveness varies by personality and unresolved trauma.” “Side effects include: hope, immediately followed by suspicion.” | Distilled sunrise, echoleaf extract, gold-infused syrup (non-edible, technically) | Grants advantage on next Insight or Persuasion check within 1 hour. |
| Incantation Icewine | “Scribed. Sealed. Served chilled.” “Memory not required. Only resilience.” | Frosted runes, whisperwine grapes, dust of an uncast spell | The next time you fail a concentration check, you may succeed instead. |
| Shardglass Espresso | “Caffeine multiplied by arcane instability. Not suitable for beings with blood.” “Note: two consecutive doses result in involuntary planar hiccup. Use accordingly.” | Condensed caffeine bead, ground emberroot, starshade oil | Gain +5 feet movement speed and one bonus reaction this turn. |
| Yesterday's Forecast | “The past is a flavor. Today, it is bittersweet.” “Clarity is optional. Regret is not.” | Teardrop of déjà vu, vanilla leaf, lemon glaze | You receive a fleeting vision of a personal memory—altered slightly, possibly showing something you missed. |
| Smolderclot Brew | “Requested by Maurice. Never repeated by Maurice.” “Effectiveness: verified. Cost: existential.” | Burnt coffee, smokebark oil, courage fermented in shame | Immune to fear effects for the next hour. You also feel every past mistake you’ve ever made. |
| Feathered Cognac | “Formulated with Blaire’s occasional taste for pretentiousness.” | ||
| Fluctuation Float | “Regrettably fizzy.” “Result not guaranteed. Please enjoy your unearned brilliance.” “Perfect for false confidence and fragile metaphysical insight.” ''A Nemeia Pesphian Original.'' | Melting possibility cream, carbonate from the Astral Sea | Once in the next hour, you may cast a spell without components—even if you don’t know it. |
| Entropic Lemonade | “Disruption disguised as refreshment.” “Warning: may cause mild unpredictability in hair color or romantic decisions.” | Static-charged citrus, aged Feywild pollen, crushed entropy salt | The next time you roll damage, reroll any 1s or 2s once. |
| The Quiet Rebellion | “Subtle. Soft. Subversive.” “Useful for paranoia. Or confirming it.” | Whispergrass infusion, veiled plum, sugarcube of irony | The next time you are being watched or scryed upon, you are aware. |
| Arc-Flavored Soda | “Taste approximated by electrical memory. Texture: ‘Ouch.’” “Consumption may cause unintended finger sparks and charismatic hair frizz.” | Bottled lightning fizz, poprock dust, arcane stabilizer | Deal +1 lightning damage on melee attacks for 1 hour. |
| Vantablack Viscera | “You requested ‘something strong.’ I have complied.” “Emotionally inadvisable during therapy.” | Shadowfell ash syrup, liquefied remorse, licorice essence | Gain darkvision (60ft) for 1 hour and can see invisible creatures faintly. |
| Cognitive Dissonance Daiquiri | “A contradiction in every sip. Perfect for morally flexible researchers.” “Results in charismatic lying. Or lying charismatically.” | Parallel lime, contradictory mint, paradox sugar | Disadvantage on Insight checks, but advantage on Deception checks for 30 minutes. |
| The Silent Feather | “Formulated for Keepers with secrets too loud to carry.” “Perfect for arguments, nightmares, or private panic attacks.” | Whisper sap, shadowberry juice, evaporated memory fog | Cast Silence centered on self (lasts 10 minutes). You may still hear others. They may not hear you. |
| Copperclink Tonic | “Primary function: fatigue reduction. Secondary function: increased conversational efficiency.” “Warning: may cause unprompted monologues about productivity.” | Carbonated bark extract, chilled leyline mist, crushed peppermint crystal | +1 to Constitution saving throws against exhaustion for 1 hour. Slight minty euphoria. |
| Causality Splitter | “For when time should stop asking questions.” “Does not affect moral failings or social errors.” | Reverse tea leaves, unboiled paradox water, a pinch of doubt | Once, within the next hour, reroll any failed saving throw. |
| Velvet Gearmilk | “Soothing. Viscous. Mildly combustible. Children cry when it’s served.” “Served warm. Absolutely no substitutions.” | Clockwork sap, melted caramel gears, milk from a goat with no regrets | Grants 1d4 temporary hit points and the sensation of being mostly okay. |
| Blinkspice Chai | “Warning: involuntary blinking between timelines may occur.” “Recommended for romantic dates or unnatural rifts.” | Real cinnamon, ghost pepper root, tea brewed in feymoon water | For 10 minutes, you can detect planar disturbances within 60ft as faint glowing tears. |
| Decadron House Special: The Asterisk | “Requesting this beverage is a sign of emotional surrender. Denial is futile.” “Statement: you seem like someone who needs a surprise.” | Unlisted. Untested. Unwise. | Roll 1d100. Something happens. Deck does not elaborate. |
