Oracle

Classes Designed by Austin Lance • Art by John Collier

About this class

Oracles are Fate’s messengers and Destiny’s enforcers. They appear throughout the realms whenever the course of history has strayed from its anointed path. Touched by the divine, oracles can gently nudge fate and sway the masses to put things back on course. This often means taking on the role of trusted advisor, a visionary, or a holy prophet. But as powerful as they are, their gifts can be a burden. Revelation rarely comes whole and many oracles find themselves faulted for the very tragedies they foretold. To survive, oracles learn to guard the truth and only reveal that which serves their purpose and pitying those foolish enough to ignore their warnings.

Class features

  • Omens

    At the beginning of each session, roll a number of d12s equal to your tier and place them on your character sheet as Omen Dice. After you make an action or reaction roll, you can spend an Omen Die to replace either Duality Die. You can only spend one Omen Die per roll and the resulting Duality Dice must show different values. At the end of each session, clear all unspent Omen Dice.

  • Trance

    Mark a Stress to enter a Trance until you take Severe damage or until the end of the scene. While in a Trance, you gain a +1 bonus to your Spellcast Rolls.

Class items

  • Relic etched with a prophecy.
