# Deck of Illusions *Source: Dungeon Master's Guide (2024) p. 249. Available in the <span title='Systems Reference Document (5.2)'>SRD</span>* This box contains a set of cards. A full deck has 34 cards: 32 depicting specific creatures and two with a mirrored surface. A deck found as treasure is usually missing `dice:1d20-1|noform|noparens|avg` (` - 1`) cards. The magic of the deck functions only if its cards are drawn at random. You can take a [Magic](/Rules/Source/actions.md#Magic) action to draw a card at random from the deck and throw it to the ground at a point within 30 feet of yourself. An illusion of a creature, determined by rolling on the Deck of Illusions table, forms over the thrown card and remains until dispelled. The illusory creature created by the card looks and behaves like a real creature of its kind, except that it can do no harm. While you are within 120 feet of the illusory creature and can see it, you can take a [Magic](/Rules/Source/actions.md#Magic) action to move it anywhere within 30 feet of its card. Any physical interaction with the illusory creature reveals it to be false, because objects pass through it. A creature that takes a [Study](/Rules/Source/actions.md#Study) action to visually inspect the illusory creature identifies it as an illusion with a successful DC 15 Intelligence ([Investigation](/Rules/Source/skills.md#Investigation)) check. The illusion lasts until its card is moved or the illusion is dispelled (using a [Dispel Magic](/Rules/Source/spells/dispel-magic-xphb.md) spell or a similar effect). When the illusion ends, the image on its card disappears, and that card can't be used again. **Deck of Illusions** `dice: [](deck-of-illusions-xdmg.md#^deck-of-illusions)` | dice: 1d100 | Illusion | |-------------|----------| | 01-03 | [Adult Red Dragon](/Rules/Source/bestiary/dragon/adult-red-dragon-xmm.md) | | 04-06 | [Archmage](/Rules/Source/bestiary/humanoid/archmage-xmm.md) | | 07-09 | [Assassin](/Rules/Source/bestiary/humanoid/assassin-xmm.md) | | 10-12 | [Bandit Captain](/Rules/Source/bestiary/humanoid/bandit-captain-xmm.md) | | 13-15 | [Beholder](/Rules/Source/bestiary/aberration/beholder-xmm.md) | | 16-18 | [Berserker](/Rules/Source/bestiary/humanoid/berserker-xmm.md) | | 19-21 | [Bugbear Warrior](/Rules/Source/bestiary/fey/bugbear-warrior-xmm.md) | | 22-24 | [Cloud Giant](/Rules/Source/bestiary/giant/cloud-giant-xmm.md) | | 25-27 | [Druid](/Rules/Source/bestiary/humanoid/druid-xmm.md) | | 28-30 | [Erinyes](/Rules/Source/bestiary/fiend/erinyes-xmm.md) | | 31-33 | [Ettin](/Rules/Source/bestiary/giant/ettin-xmm.md) | | 34-36 | [Fire Giant](/Rules/Source/bestiary/giant/fire-giant-xmm.md) | | 37-39 | [Frost Giant](/Rules/Source/bestiary/giant/frost-giant-xmm.md) | | 40-42 | [Gnoll Warrior](/Rules/Source/bestiary/fiend/gnoll-warrior-xmm.md) | | 43-45 | [Goblin Warrior](/Rules/Source/bestiary/fey/goblin-warrior-xmm.md) | | 46-48 | [Guardian Naga](/Rules/Source/bestiary/celestial/guardian-naga-xmm.md) | | 49-51 | [Hill Giant](/Rules/Source/bestiary/giant/hill-giant-xmm.md) | | 52-54 | [Hobgoblin Warrior](/Rules/Source/bestiary/fey/hobgoblin-warrior-xmm.md) | | 55-57 | [Incubus](/Rules/Source/bestiary/fiend/incubus-xmm.md) | | 58-60 | [Iron Golem](/Rules/Source/bestiary/construct/iron-golem-xmm.md) | | 61-63 | [Knight](/Rules/Source/bestiary/humanoid/knight-xmm.md) | | 64-66 | [Kobold Warrior](/Rules/Source/bestiary/dragon/kobold-warrior-xmm.md) | | 67-69 | [Lich](/Rules/Source/bestiary/undead/lich-xmm.md) | | 70-72 | [Medusa](/Rules/Source/bestiary/monstrosity/medusa-xmm.md) | | 73-75 | [Night Hag](/Rules/Source/bestiary/fiend/night-hag-xmm.md) | | 76-78 | [Ogre](/Rules/Source/bestiary/giant/ogre-xmm.md) | | 79-81 | [Oni](/Rules/Source/bestiary/fiend/oni-xmm.md) | | 82-84 | [Priest](/Rules/Source/bestiary/humanoid/priest-xmm.md) | | 85-87 | [Succubus](/Rules/Source/bestiary/fiend/succubus-xmm.md) | | 88-90 | [Troll](/Rules/Source/bestiary/giant/troll-xmm.md) | | 91-93 | [Warrior Veteran](/Rules/Source/bestiary/humanoid/warrior-veteran-xmm.md) | | 94-96 | [Wyvern](/Rules/Source/bestiary/dragon/wyvern-xmm.md) | | 97-00 | The card drawer | ^deck-of-illusions ##
