Path

CardDMTCRGp. 522014

A well-worn path twists through the wilderness, with hidden dangers lurking in the shadows to both sides. This card suggests the importance of sticking with a plan and remaining focused on the destination.

Upright Meaning

  • Person. A goal-oriented person who knows exactly what they want and has a clear plan to get it.
  • Creature or Trap. A creature single-mindedly pursuing prey or some other goal, or a trapped room navigable by only a single path.
  • Place. A road or trail.
  • Treasure. An art object depicting a road or path, or a magic item that allows divination (such as a Crystal Ball or a Spell Scroll of Find the Path).
  • Situation. A situation that demands unwavering focus on the goal.

Reversed Meaning

  • Person. An aimless person who doesn't know what they want and has no idea how to decide.
  • Creature or Trap. A creature that reacts to provocation without a clear plan or purpose; it might be acting on instinct or be confused.
  • Place. A trackless wilderness, or an underground complex that is very difficult to traverse.
  • Treasure. An abstract art object, or a magic item that foils divination (such as an Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location).
  • Situation. A series of distractions that deflect attention from an important goal.
