Multi-classing

Criterions

  • Owning tarot cards
  • Having both luck and intelligence, charisma, or negotiation be amongst your 5 highest stats.
  • Having heard of the Gods3.

Process

  • Showing your faith in the Gods by dedicating an act of massive proportions to them and getting a majority of the Gods approve of you becoming an oracle from this act5.

  1. By Gods, I mean it as in the game-systems, players, and DM. ↩

  2. The kit contains a singular flask with a size comparable to a bottle of pills. ↩

  3. Gods, as opposed to the gods, are quite literally deities, or, in other words, the players themselves. ↩

  4. Meditation sessions that last less than 2 turns won’t count towards this goal. ↩

  5. The DM’s vote counts for double in this vote. In the case of a tie, your character will fail to become an oracle. ↩
