I really enjoy the upgraded divinations, but personally I've never felt there are enough. I'd like 100, maybe because I'm greedy.

I can rename most of the ones from DH1 and change any effects that are too similar to divinations that exist in DH2, but that still won't fill up al 100.

Does anyone know of an expanded Divinations table? Also more Divination text to use for said table? I could always use Thoughts of the Day as well there's a large list of those around.

Thoughts? Concerns? Does adding more divinations somehow break character creation?

I'd be surprised if it broke character creation and it would add some more variety, both of the players I've had roll up their characters so far got the same divination (If a job is worth doing it is worth dying for). If you can get your hands on a third/forth edition 40k rulebook or the inqusitor rulebook or something like that the divination text could be ripped from just left of the page number on many pages.

At one point I was working on coming up with Divinations using the actual Tarot Deck; a positive/strength and negative/weakness meaning to each card, with players drawing a strength and weakness card at character creation. It just got a little more complicated than I originally intended and shelved the idea.

7th Sea is a game that does this. It's out of print but easy to find online if anyone feels like adapting it to 40k.

I have a few friends with the game, so I'll have to look at that.

I'm working here and there on an expanded Divinations list. I'll post it when I'm done...sometime.

By all means, post it even if it's unfinished and we can all add to it and help you, unless you specifically want to do it yourself.

I would personally love a d100 Divination/Emperor's Tarot table for use in my own unified ruleset.

I plan on getting a rough draft of all 100 with effects that I personally thought up hopefully by the weekend's end (here meaning "soon" tm) I'll post it here to get thoughts and opinions on the effects that I came up with and suggestions for replacements as well.

Alright, this will be a very long post so apologies first and foremost. Here's the rough draft of my expanded Divinations table for Dark Heresy 2nd edition. Feel free to comment, and suggest replacement effects.

Expanded Divination Table: Replace Table 2-9

Yeah it doesn't want to play ball with any of the things I'm trying to do to get a table to stay there. It'll copy over, but when I post it, or save the changes in this case, it just reverts back to what it was.
