This is basically want I want from the S'Danzo Divination ability, but I'm not sure if it truely does the job.
S’Danzo Abilities
The S’Danzo women are known for their second site ability. This ability is usually done with the aid of tarot cards or other such device. In game terms this is a new exclusive skill that is only open to S’Danzo women and a few other people to a more limited degree (see below).
Divination (Exclusive Skill, Wisdom based): Divination is the ability to correctly predict the future. This is done for one person at a time and the less that is known about him the better.
This skill takes anywhere from five minutes to a half hour or even longer. The S’Danzo is pretty much in control of the time, she can speed it up or lengthen the process, as she likes.
DC 10: The S’Danzo get a general idea of what the next couple of days will hold. “I foresee love in your future.”
DC 15: Same as above except with more a little more detail. “I foresee love in your future from a strong woman.”
DC 20: The information is more precise and multiple things can be seen “Not only will a strong woman be in love with you, but her husband will soon find out.”
DC 25: Same as above except there is one specific detail that will be true “A Strong woman will be in love with you, but her husband will find out. One the morning the crow cries early, he will find you.”
DC 30: Multiple unrelated things can be seen or one image will be seen in great clarity. “I foresee love in your future from a strong woman and your camel dealership shall be very prosperous.” Or “A strong woman with long red hair will buy a camel from you and by that night the two of you will be together. However, beware for when the crow cries early her man will find you.”
DC 35: As above except even more detail. “I foresee love in your future from a strong, red headed woman and your camel dealership shall be very prosperous especially with the caravans.” Or “A strong woman with long red hair will buy a camel from you and by that night the two of you will be together. However, beware for when the crow cries early her man will find you. Hw will catch you unaware and your only escape will be through the back alleys.”
DC 40: Any check of this or higher will be incredibly accurate, but cryptic. “On the day the Hellhounds chase out the smugglers, your Camel business will prosper. One of your buyers will be a red haired woman who you will be with for many days. However when the crow cries early you will be found by her husband. You will know him by the blue handled dagger he carries. You will be able to escape through the back alleys, but if you do that you will lose her.”
Synergy Bonus: With 5 ranks in Divination you get +2 synergy bonus to Bluff or Sense Motive when telling or hearing a false fortune.
Special: Take 10 or Take 20 may not be used with this skill.
Special: On a roll of a natural one, the Diviner sees a false vision. The vision seems exactly like any other vision. The vision however, will not come true and following the advice will lead the recipient into great misfortune as well as possible the diviner.
Special: On a roll of a natural 20 the vision is unusually clear and accurate. The Diviner with get specific and should be able to relay great amounts of truthful information
Special: If the Diviner is using an object like Tarot Cards that the Diviner has used exclusively for at least one year, the Diviner gets a +2 circumstance bonus to all Divinations with them.
Special: Divination works best for true strangers. If you are reading someone known to you it’s at a –2 circumstance bonus. If it is for a friend it is a –5 circumstance penalty. If it is for a blood relative it is a –10 circumstance bonus. And if it is someone you love it is a –20 circumstance penalty.
Special: Retires are allowed on a failed roll, but not on a roll of a natural one. The DCs are increased by five for each time it is retried. If the fortune is successfully told, no amounts of retrying will change it. The same cards will always come up.
Special: Lying about someone’s fortunes. Occasionally the Diviner will see a fortune she does not want to tell the person. She must make a bluff check against their sense motive. The stronger the fortunes was the more difficult the bluff will be. The bluff check receives a negative one circumstance penalty if the Divination check was a 20, with an additional –1 for each five the check was over 20.
