"Knowledge is both a gift and a curse. Do not seek to understand the future, as this can never be known, but instead to understand the currents that shape it. May the wisdom of the stars guide your steps towards a future that beets goodness." -Alanákalai Eyarie, prophet

Born under a unique configuration of Ancerra’s five moons, you were destined for mystic greatness. As a child you possessed an innate sensitivity to people’s emotional states and to the natural world around you, and often you felt that unsettling sense that you knew something would happen before the fact, and it came to pass precisely as you had expected. This led you to seek the counsel of an experienced mystic who taught you the ways of oracular prophecy. Embracing your role as a link between the physical and the spiritual, you have yourself become an enigmatic guide to those who seek prophetic vision.

Regardless of how accurate you are, you may be called upon frequently to predict the future. Give some thought to how you feel about such requests. Do you believe that you can actually divine the future on command, or do you think that such visions are only occasionally gifted to you? Is it a skill you can get better at, or just an innate knack you possess? Furthermore, what kind of physical props, such as tarot cards or animal bones, do you use when attempting such soothsaying?

Talent	PreReq	Description	Tags
Star's Guidance	Oracle Entry, Warden of the Primal	Pick Astronomy or Astrology. Gain +2 Skill Points in that skill. Gain the Star’s Guidance ability. Star’s Guidance (1/Recoup). Use Astronomy or Astrology in place of a skill with the survival tag.	Oracle, Druid
Old Gods	Star’s Guidance Incompatible: Wyrd Wood	Gain the Disciple of the Divine talent if you did not already have it. Disciple of the Divine does not grant you additional SP when you gain it in this way. If you already have it, gain +1 Divine Power. Whenever you gain a talent from this track with the divine tag, gain +1 Divine Power. You have taken it upon yourself to maintain a balance between nature and deity. In combat, when you cast a primal chant or spell, gain 1 Primal Proclivity. When you cast a divine prayer or spell, gain 1 Divine Proclivity. At the end of combat, subtract the lesser number from the greater. If the difference is greater than 1, then you immediately lose 2d10 SP and can only cast magic from the Source that had higher Proclivity. You are also Sickened until you reset this ability. When you Recoup, you may forego the normal benefits of Recouping to reset this ability. Otherwise, the ability resets upon Taking a Rest.	Oracle, Druid, Divine
Old Gods II	Old Gods	If you suffer the penalty from having imbalanced Proclivities, you lose 1d10 SP instead of 2d10. If you remain within the difference, you regain 1d6 SP and gain +1 on attribute checks for 1 hour.	Oracle, Druid, Divine

Refer to the Primeval Darkness table for the effects of the dark power on your magical ability. In combat, when you cast a chant or spell without the dark power tag, gain 1 Light Proclivity. When you cast a chant or spell with the dark power tag, gain 1 Dark Proclivity. At the end of combat, subtract the lesser number from the greater. If the difference is greater than 1, then you immediately lose 2d10 HP and can only cast magic with or without the dark power tag (whichever Proclivity was stronger). You are also Sickened until you reset this ability. When you Recoup, you may forego the normal benefits of Recouping to reset this ability. Otherwise, this ability resets when you Take a Rest.

Additional Subclass Tracks

Tarot Reader Track

Making a Deck If you do not have a tarot deck, take two playing card decks with the same backs and write the 22 major arcana names on 22 cards from one deck. Also write “Page” on one face card from each suit. Shuffle those 26 cards into the other 52-card deck to create a surrogate tarot deck. Finally, draw a vertical arrow on each card, as upside- down (or “Reversed”) cards may cause different effects. Tarot Spreads Talents in this track with the tarot spread tag will give you additional ways to use the Read Fortune ability. The process of performing a tarot reading is the same except when specifically described differently in each talent. Other talents with the tarot spread tag each mention specific “spreads”; consult the diagram after each talent to see its relevant spread.

Combat Cards	Tarot Deck	When you roll Initiative, shuffle your tarot deck. You may spend 1 AP to reveal the top card of your tarot deck, gaining the following benefit based on its suit. The effect remains until you draw a new card. The exception is the Major Arcanas: if you play a Major Arcana card, it remains until the end of your next turn (even if you play other cards), whereupon it is discarded. Cups: Gain 2 Shield HP. Pentagrams: Gain Resist Magic +2. Swords: Deal +2 damage. Wands: Gain DR 2/Physical. If it is a face card, then the numeric value is 3 instead of 2. If it is a Major Arcana that you know, you gain its special effect instead. If it is a Major Arcana that you do not know, you get to choose which effect you gain, with a numerical value of 5.	Oracle, Tarot Reader
Read Fortune	Tarot Deck	Gain the Read Fortune ability. Read Fortune (1/Recoup). Using Arcana, Astrology, or Astronomy (the one you chose from the Oracle Entry’s Hermit ability), you may tell someone’s fortune. This takes 10 minutes and can be done during a Recoup. Subtract your chosen skill from 30. This is your Fortune DC. Now, shuffle your tarot deck in such a way that some of the cards will be “Reversed” (upside-down, but not backwards; you should still see only the backs of the cards). Next, deal three cards face-up, representing the past, present, and future. Add up the numerical values of these cards. Face cards have a value of 12, and Major Arcanas have a value of 7. Cards that are Reversed have a negative value. If you meet your Fortune DC, then the subject of your reading is deemed Fortunate. One time before the subject Takes a Rest, they may activate their Fortune. They add 1d6 to all of their d20 rolls for 2 minutes. If you did not meet your Fortune DC, then the subject of your reading is deemed Unfortunate. One time before they Take a Rest, the MC may activate their Fortune. They subtract 1d4 from all of their d20 rolls for 1 minute. If the Future card was a non-Reversed Major Arcana that you know, AND you beat your Fortune DC, then that Major Arcana’s benefit activates on the subject when they activate their Fortune and remains for the duration.
