Um...shouldn't this be in Suggestions?
Has it stated anywhere whether you are told which fortune you will get or is it a 'do you want your fortune read?' and you take the chance then?
Saying that, I doubt I would say no to any of those to be honest.

Oh...looked like a sort of suggestion to me :S.
because its phrased as a suggestion and not as a statement :P
looks good, i can only see one debuff and one damage to reciever, everything else is a positive, so should be fun to use. wonder what the recharge time is?

Definition of permanent fail 
It's good to see that the "dreaded de-buffing" is only minor, and you've only got a 1 in 9 chance of getting it.
Not sure what all the Americans are whining about now then, there's only one debuff and it's TINY.
"Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these. It might have been."
And even that minor debuffing is only a bit annoying.
Read my Fortune I say.
the only debuff I can see is the -tohit, which for some toons could be a bit of an annoyance but nothing more, I say bring on the Tarot cards!!!
Having played an SR scrapper I'm getting used to chancing whether the massive Rikti Pylon I'm charging at will hit me or not, so this seems no different in terms of getting epic win, or epic ( minor ) debuff.

I guess it's only me who sees it as odd that the buffs granted by Mystic Fortune are based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot when IIRC many Christian religious groups don't take much to the Tarot...
Just find it a bit odd that any theme/names/explanation could have been used and they pick one that some people may get upset about (and also one that may play into the 'videogamers are satanic spawn' camp of public misconceptions).

@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
You're worried about that over a game where powers explicitly state they are summoned from the Netherworld? Ye-eah.....

You know, it's funny, but when I saw the Tarot pack, I immediately thought it was funny, because it wasn't what I'd class as Magic, but I felt it fitted the theme.
I never even thought of the crazy, fundamentalist, "We'll forget the main tenets of our religion whenever it becomes inconvenient or if I just feel like being a right [censored]" Christian brigade.
And now I can't think of anything else. Thanks Dave

when you put it like that yea it is a bit odd but any religious group that is so close minded that they cant let people believe in something else is normally largely ignored by the general population (yea i know in the US they get a bit more air time but for every the tarot is evil organisation there's a mystic group as well)
plus the tarot is suitability non committal to either good or evil that i can be used by either faction
Its also not part of any one religion so there not showing favoritism to Christianity, catholicism, Buddhism etc etc
I think CoX is rather unchristian already when it comes to God(s). It seems rather polytheist, when you see for example the banished pantheon, and that States got his powers from the fountain of Zeus. Heck, even magic in general is unchristian. However, nothing in the game outright denies the existence of a monotheistic God or acts against it, so meh. The other 'Gods' could just be really powerful things if you want to look at it like that.
I think it's a good thing that most games don't touch on this kind of thing.

yea CoH seems very pathion centric much like its source material take a look at DC or Marvel they have both the pathions popping up all over the shop but tend to in general stay clear of a "real" life monotheistic god (course there's exceptions like Ghostrider and that Angel from the justice league but even then we only really see the angels not the god)
I always find it a bit of a shame to be honest if a religions strong anuff it should be able to take a bit of creative interpretation but you can bet that we wont see Jesus appear alongside hercules and Thor in the avengers any time soon.

Usually the religions are strong enough - but the followers vary wildly.
Just look at religious violence/extremism... Whichever religion you care to look at, any violence carried out by purported followers has often been from a splinter-view that varies from the main. Most people, whatever religion they follow, are pretty moderate and can get along with others who are not enlightened enough to follow the true faith.

Very true here's to a more tolerant world
(not that it'll ever happen while the human race is about if we werent fighting over religion it would be over somthing else)
I really like that the buff is optional for the recipient. They are useful without being game-breaking, and the random aspect and odd debuff means one can't rely on them to get garanteed wins.
I'm interested to see the real numbers (among other things).
I take it the death card kills you but when you're rezzed or something then the effect takes place or not at all?
