Dimensions Game Softare is pleased to release, Divination, an online document giving basic information about many different types of divination. Whether you call them spells, special abilities, miracles, divine intervention, skills, or feats, divination in one form or another is present in most games as well as most real-life societies. Divination ranges from the complex sacrificial cermonies of the Aztecs to the simple modern-day eight ball. This document provides definitions for nearly 200 types of divination as well as some simple guidelines to use when introducing divination to your game.
Some of the included techniques have robust histories with many examples of use throughout history associated with them. A few are less known, rarely reported, or fictional. A simple online search should provide the GM with enough details to fully flesh out a given technique.
The document is accompanied by a random generator, which works similarly to the ones used in the Interactive SRD. It can create a set of generic game statistics for a GM to consult when introducing new types of divination into a campaign. The stats include a list of prerequisites, such as high intelligence or manual dexterity, a time frame for how long it takes to perform the ritual or ceremony, a percent indicating the accuracy of readings made using that particular technique, and an indicator of how difficult it is to perform the given type of divination.
Once the GM decides on the appropriate statistics, the info can be printed out and saved for future reference. The inclusion of an easy way to print and charts containing all of the data used by the generator are a first for Dimensions Game Software. If the fans enjoy these features then you can expect to see them incorporated into future releases. This document is currently available at Dimensions Game Software .
