Hi chaps

Got a bit bored with the same old divination table (aftrer a few characters in the same group with the same divination). So i knocked up a broader table with some extra results. Please note there is still more or less the same chance of getting a 'bad' result or a 'good' result (ie +1 fate point). We just use this table now. Everyone in my group loves it, so feel free to use it as you wish.

Good stuff Seneca ; thanks!

Very good work there.

We have a spate of character creation on the horizon and I see this being very useful.

Interesting. I like the expanded table mate.

Only minor flaw I might see, players would probably wish to just roll high since it seems the higher numbers give the most well, benefit for the buck. Would you consider randomising the numbers to make it more of a luck divination and not 'you were born well because of the better number roll'? Just a thought, as I know the original was like this as well.

Nice work and, after a bit of playing and a few players trying out different characters, a wider range of dininations is a great thing to have!

One sugestion:

Wouldn't the trait Paranoid fit #100 better then a fate point and a random characteristic point?

When doing it, I tried to keeps the odds the same as the original table (so neither was 'better'' than the other'.) Both tables give you a 10-11% chance of a 'bad' divination (corruption points etc) and a 6% chance of an extra fate point. All the other 10 stats (weapon skill through to wounds) are represented equally, with an equal chance of getting + 1-3 on any given stat. There are about 10 random skills/talents with a negative trait aswell, for flavour as much as anything else.

As for the bonus's getting better the higher you roll i didn;t see much problem in that. It was the general format as the original, and it makes sense i suppose. By all means feel free to swap numbers and resuts around to suit your own players. Especially if they are in the habit of always rolling high for divination

The only reason that paranoia is not at the 'top of the shop ' is quite simple. I really wanted to use that talent in conjunction with the phrase 'everything you have been told is a lie'. I know i could of easily had a reshuffle, but i tried to keep the skeleton of the table the same as the the original, By all means adapt it to your own thoughts. M group love this divination table, and best of all, it means that you rarely get the same two divinations in a single group.
