Drawback: Chaotic Aura (for non-magic users): Once per scene, characters interacting with the Trickster must roll (1d10 +body target 7) or become inebriated.

Drawback: Chaotic Feedback (for magic users): Due to the very nature of the Trickster, their magic, like themselves, can be unpredictable. When using magic, a secondary, unexpected bit of magic manifests. This may end up being beneficial or detrimental to the character’s goals.

To determine what the effect will be, the player rolls three dice, then consults this chart to determine three factors: Target, Magic, and a third Variable.

Notes:

The caster is not in control of this magical side effect IC, and they do not need to be proficient in the form of magic the feedback chooses to take.
The chosen target, especially if it is a player, may roll defense or attempt to dodge it.
In regular RP, this can be written by the player, in GMed scenes, the GM can choose to dictate the specifics of what happens.GMs can also change what effects are on the roll list, depending on the situation.
The 3D10 must be rolled after your initial casting roll and before you actually post.
These are RP flavor dice, and optional unless using dice was decided upon for the scene, but encouraged for those who like the concept of a touch of chance and surprise in their play.
The side effect should generally be in proportion to the spell casts, but can vary depending on the roll. The more powerful one is in their chosen magic, the more powerful the side effect will be. Use your judgment and play fair.
Those who can cast curses can attempt to curse someone with Chaotic Feedback and the risk of being cursed with it as well.
The people affected by this feedback must be present in the RP.

DIE ONE: The first d10 determines what or who the feedback will be cast on. If the decided type of target is not present in the scene, it reflects back upon the caster.

Self
Current Target
An Ally
An Enemy
Area of Effect (melee range)
Area of Effect (25 meter radius, centered on the caster)
A Loved One.
A Plant or Animal.
A Random Bystander (may be PC or NPC)
An Inanimate Object.

DIE TWO: The second d10 determines what sort of magic the feedback manifests as.

Illusion
Elemental (roll a d4 to determine which element:1. Fire, 2. Air, 3. Earth or 4.Water.)
Transformation
Healing
Psychic
Divination
Summoning (with consent, may bring a PC who isn’t currently present, if they fit the criteria of what’s rolled on the first d10. For instance, a loved one or an enemy.)
Light
Dark
Something Harmless (player’s choice, as long as it is not combative.)

DIE THREE: The third d10 determines another variable to be worked into the Feedback, whether it is literally involved (such as summoning flowers) or stylistically (shadow that appears in the shape of growing vines and blooms.) Periodically, an alternate list of roll results will be posted on discord for various lengths of time. When that happens, you can choose between this list and the one on discord.

Flora
Fauna.
Mineral
A Mirror
Manmade Object or Structure
A Creepy Doll
An Explosion (not necessarily one that does damage)
A Trickster
Fae
Food or Drink

Example. Kit wants a free sausage, so he uses telekinesis to try and float one over from Tynan’s plate. Their attempt is successful, so they roll for feedback. The results of rolling 3d10 is (4, 7, 4)

D1 is: 9, which is a Random Bystander

D2 is: 7, which is Summoning magic.

D3 is 4, which is a Mirror.

With these results, Kit’s Feedback is that when he starts to float the sausage to him, a mirror appears in its trajectory, taking the sausage through it, where it then lands in Queen Emerys’ lap.

An alternate result could be that Kit’s Feedback is that Bob, a man who is getting sloshed at the same tavern, suddenly finds a mirror in his grasp, reflecting the image of Kit’s delicious but dastardly deed.

It is all about the interpretation of events by the player.
