Soothsayer Image

Some call you a fortune teller, some say you are clairvoyant, others insist that you must be a charlatan. Whatever the case, there is no denying that you have the gift of foresight. Perhaps an ancestor of yours was a divination wizard, or maybe you were raised by fellow diviners, or maybe you were blessed by one of the gods of destiny. Or maybe you simply were born with a unknown blessing that has left you able to glean pieces of the future of those around you.

How does your gift manifest? And where did it come from? Does it take a toll on you? These are all things for you and your Dungeon Master to decide together.

Suggested Characteristics

Whether they're seen as liars masquerading as prophets or as real diviners, soothsayers are an eclectic type. One soothsayer may be quiet and reserved, while another may be vibrant and loud. No soothsayer is the same, though they are all united by the unique gifts which leave them loved and hated in equal measures.
