The power to discern the future'.'

Capability

Users have the capability to look into possible futures and observe what may happen. While not being able to select futures or travel through time these visions may assist in possible courses of action. This may be accomplished through Magic, a mechanical process, or by means of Astral Projection, or some other Spiritual power

Limitations

  • Users may require being in a trance or unconscious to see the future.
  • Foretelling may be an involuntary action happening unexpectedly
  • May only be able to see destiny, being unable to change events.
  • Visions may be more similar to dreams, difficult to remember, or decipher.

Universe Differences

Some visions may be set in stone weather or not you see them, others may happen only if the players select a certain course of action, this depends mainly on wether or not users are viewing Destiny or Probability.

Personality

Many Precogs tend to carry a very devil-may-care, fatalistic view of the world, since they know what's going to happen anyway. Many say, "Can't change it, why worry about it?". Others use their gift to fortell only possible futures, to which they seek to alter what they have been shown. These individuals tend to worry constantly, and come off as anal-retentive, due to their passionate desire to change the future that they have seen.
