Divination

By casting gem-inlaid rods, throwing dragon bones, laying out ornate cards, or employing some other divination tool, you receive an omen from an otherworldly entity about the results of a specific course of action you plan to take within the next 30 minutes. The Game Master chooses among the following possible omens:

  • Weal, for good results
  • Woe, for bad results
  • Weal and Woe, for both good and bad results
  • Nothing, for results that aren’t especially good or bad

The spell doesn’t account for circumstances that might change the future outcome, such as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion.

If you cast the spell two or more times before finishing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25% chance for each casting after the first that you get a random answer instead. The Game Master makes this roll in secret.
