You have glimpsed the hidden threads of fate, drawing knowledge from omens, whispers beyond the veil, and ancient divinations. Whether your insights come from deep study, supernatural gifts, or a dark pact with unknown entities, your visions shape the course of your life - and perhaps the lives of others.
- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana (Understanding mystical forces)
Insight (Deciphering hidden truths in people and situations)
- Tool Proficiencies: Playing cards (Tarot or Oracle Deck) (Used for divination and fortune-telling)
- Languages: One additional language of your choice, usually tied to your source of knowledge (e.g., Celestial for divine visions, Abyssal for dark prophecy, Deep Speech for eldritch whispers).
- Equipment: A well-worn deck of tarot cards (or a set of bone dice, runes, or other divination tool)
A book of cryptic prophecies, containing past readings and their meanings
A small glass orb or scrying mirror, cloudy with faint images
A set of common clothes
You have an innate sense of destiny, able to recognize when something is out of balance in the grand design. This manifests in one of the following ways:
1. Visions of Fate - Once per long rest, you can ask the DM for a vague premonition about an event or decision. This is usually cryptic and symbolic rather than direct.
2. Prophetic Readings - If you perform a 10-minute tarot reading for someone, the DM gives a small but truthful insight into their future. The accuracy depends on the DM's discretion.
3. Omen Sense - You always know when something significant if about to happen, though you don't know exactly what. You can sometimes sense unnatural presences (like fiends, celestials, or undead) without actively detecting them.
