#Collection of 4 Prophecy Schools (First Establishment)

Contents

The core Prophecy skill has no schools. This expansion newly establishes 4. The core Licensed reading omens / secret art déjà vu is replaced by newly established maneuvers.

#§ Scent — The Hundred Forks of the Future

The future is not one. So prophecy is always plural. Yin-yang divination, I Ching, oracle, tarot — all go by different paths and bring back different answers. All of those answers can be right at the same time.

#§ Law — 4 Schools

  • Clarity of answers: yin-yang divination (clear), oracle (ambiguous), tarot (intermediate), revelation (GM discretion) — diverse game use.
  • Newly established Licensed/secret art: newly established maneuvers for the core reading omens and déjà vu.
  • 35-spell-system linkage: holding a Prophecy school grants access to Prophecy spells (35-16).
  • Play use: also usable as a GM tool — so the PC can receive clues to the campaign's core events in advance.
