Divination

## Precognition

**Alternate Names**: Momentary Foresight, Defy the Crone, Fortune�s Favour

**Value**: 100xp

**Prerequisites**: Psyniscience Rank 1

**Action**: Half Action

**Focus Power**: Ordinary (+10) Psyniscience Test

**Range**: Self

**Sustained**: Free Action

**Subtype**: Concentration

**Description**: The psykers mind skims the warp for glimpses of the immediate future, seeking to discern threats to himself so that he may avoid them. Many latent psykers are unknowing of the gift they possess, considering their survival to be a matter of luck, while Eldar seers describe it as an act of defiance against the fate-weaving Crone Goddess, Morai-Heg. While this power remains in effect, the psyker gains a bonus to all Evasion Tests equal to twice his Psy Rating.

## Preternatural Awareness

**Alternate Names**: Unavoidable Sight

**Value**: 100xp

**Prerequisites**: Precognition

**Action**: Half Action

**Focus Power**: Challenging (+0) Psyniscience Test

**Range**: Self

**Sustained**: Free Action

**Subtype**: Attack, Concentration

**Description**: The psykers perceptions are focussed on his immediate surroundings, searching for even the slightest disturbance or most minor change. While this power remains in effect, the psyker gains the Unnatural Perception Trait, at a rating equal to his Psy Rating. In addition, he gains a bonus to his Initiative equal to the Degrees of Success on his Focus Power Test.

## Precognitive Dodge

**Alternate Names**: Whispers of Fate, Prophet�s Escape

**Value**: 200xp

**Prerequisites**: Precognition

**Action**: Reaction

**Focus Power**: Difficult (�10) Perception Test

**Range**: Self

**Sustained**: No

**Subtype**: Concentration

**Description**: The psykers awareness of the warp grants him the means to elude his opponents� attacks without needing to rely on mortal reflexes. It takes a skilled psyker to reflexively observe the warp in this way, and such a difficult technique is often performed only by the most potent of diviners, such as Eldar Farseers. In any situation where the psyker would be called upon to make an Evasion Test, he may instead attempt to use this power. If the power is successful, the psyker avoids the attack exactly as if he had passed an Evasion Test.

## Personal Augery

**Alternate Names**: Tarot Reading, Casting the Runes

**Value**: 200xp

**Prerequisites**: Precognition

**Action**: Special

**Focus Power**: Challenging (+0) Psyniscience Test

**Range**: 1 metre

**Sustained**: No

**Subtype**: Concentration

**Description**: The psykers gaze is cast upon the infinite tides of the warp, to seek out the future of a single, specific individual. While supposedly something of a staple of soothsayers and other petty seers, it takes real skill to gain more than the vaguest impressions. The Emperor�s Tarot is a common method within the Imperium, while Eldar Farseers typically employ tiny, psychically conductive runes to divine the future, but untold billions of different methods exist within the myriad civilisations across the galaxy. To begin with, the powers target must specify a circumstance that he wishes to have divined. This may be as detailed as What forces defend the Mechanicus Basilica on Belacanefl� or as vague as "How can I attain glory and power in the name of the Dark Gods" The more precise the question, the more specific the reading may be. Once the question is established, the psyker and the target spend the next thirty minutes using assorted psychic foci�drawing Tarot cards, sifting through the entrails of exotic beasts, casting runes, gazing deep into fi re or toxin-saturated water, or any of countless other methods. At the end of this time, the psyker makes his Focus Power Test to discern the weave of the targets future. Each Degree of Success reveals more information, as explained on Table 6-5: Personal Augury Results.

## Glimpse

**Alternate Names**: Moment of Insight, Witch�s Ruse,

Outcome Thief

**Value**: 100xp

**Prerequisites**: Precognition

**Action**: Half Action

**Focus Power**: Challenging (+0) Psyniscience Test

**Range**: Self

**Sustained**: No

**Subtype**: None

**Description**: The psyker reaches into the warp to grasp a single moment from the possible futures arrayed before him�a moment in which he succeeds at a particular task� and the trials and travails that could prevent that moment coming to pass. Unscrupulous psykers have frequently used this technique to perform all manner of illicit tasks, their uncanny proficiency in a vast range of tasks due as much to prophetic talent as to any mundane skill. The psyker gains a bonus equal to five times his Psy Rating on the first non-Evasion Skill Test he performs before the end of his next turn.

## Precognitive Strike

**Alternate Names**: Khaine's Ruthless Blade, Templar's Foresight

**Value**: 300xp

**Prerequisites**: Precognition, Precognitive Dodge

**Action**: Free Action

**Focus Power**: Difficult (-10) Psyniscience Test

**Range**: Self

**Sustained**: No

**Description**: To discern one's own future is sometimes deemed easier than discerning the futures of others to look for the echoes of one's own soul, rather than those of unfamiliar foes. However, the psyker has learned to do just that, seeing the way his foes fight and discerning moments of weakness, discerning opportunities to strike. Eldar Warlocks often turn this technique to their advantage, striking with uncanny accuracy. The psyker gains a bonus on the first Weapon Skill or Ballistic Skill Test during this turn, equal to +5 x his Psy Rating.
