[QUOTE="mneme, post: 5561029, member: 59248"] [MENTION=21807]pauljathome[/MENTION]: on the in-world explaination, I could see playing the power as providing data for the seer PC to make a prediction, rather than having players try to describe the sequence of three numbers in game-world terms generally. "What do you see?" "If you you direct your freezing burst at Bartholemew now, and the monsters surrounding him, it will go well for him if you cast your eyes on him first, but badly for him if the blast strikes him last" (in this case, one is coming up with an in-world reasoning for why the player rolling a burst actually gets to choose the order of rolling damage -- and why it matters at all)" or "If you attempt to leap the wall towards the goblin queen, you may not make it over the wall, but what you next strike will feel the true power of your blow" (weak roll, crit, leaving the third roll out of the prediction as it doesn't make sense). I envision a seer typically suggesting a course of action and predicting it's result, rather than trying to describe things more generically. Now, that said, the ability is still kinda broken, though it's more sane if you stick to this kind of in-world prediction. [/QUOTE]
