OK, I'm translating from my French D&D book so I'm not 100% this artifact is named Wondrous Cards but I think there is only one rare artifact which is tarot card based so I am guessing it will be easy to spot in the English book.
One of my PCs draw two card from this artifact. The first was (translated) the Fool or the Idiot (Ace of Club), took a destructive -5 int blow then drew a bonus Throne card and won a castle and +6 inherent bonus to diplomacy.
Question: it might be wrongly worded or translated, but my book lead me to believe that the loss of int from the card is permanent. As, it can never be recovered ever except perhaps from extremely powerful magic like a wish. This is a rare artifact after all... But re-reading the description and all and remembering that it could be translated in English as a permanent status which could be healed with the proper spells...
I am seeking confirmation of either of those theories.
The second question is way more open ended... So, a quite low level PC suddenly got the rights to a nearby (mostly empty of personnel) castle along with letters of nobility and all that shabang. Suggestions about how to handle this realistically without getting them overpowered?
