A Construct Fortune Teller in Dungeons & Dragons is a magical, mechanical entity designed to predict, interpret, or reveal glimpses of fate. Typically crafted by arcane inventors, artificers, or seers, these constructs serve as divinatory tools, offering cryptic prophecies or definitive answers based on the magic imbued within them. Depending on their creator’s intent, they can range from simple clockwork automatons dispensing fortune slips to complex, sentient beings capable of true foresight.

These constructs often take various forms, such as humanoid oracles with enchanted crystal eyes, eerie mechanical ravens that whisper omens, or towering brass statues that activate when questioned. Their method of divination can vary, from tarot-like card readings and rune interpretations to outright casting divination spells such as Augury, Divination, or Commune. Some operate on programmed responses, while others may possess a limited sentience, capable of improvising their fortunes based on the asker’s fate.

While many Construct Fortune Tellers are impartial, others may be cursed, misleading, or bound to a specific deity or eldritch force. Some serve as attractions in mystical carnivals, while others act as advisors to kings, warlocks, or even extraplanar entities. Their prophecies might be accurate but vague, requiring interpretation, or deliberately enigmatic, compelling adventurers to uncover hidden truths.

Players encountering such a construct may use it as a source of guidance, a narrative device, or even a quest hook—perhaps seeking the lost schematics of a legendary fortune-telling construct, deciphering an ominous prophecy, or evading the wrath of a construct that delivers only doom-laden fates. Whether used as an enigmatic NPC or a magic item, a Construct Fortune Teller adds an element of mystery and storytelling depth to any campaign.
