How can you predict the future?

I'd add in a 2 time-increment reduction on knowledge rolls made via prophecy, and seriously contemplate a +2 bonus on assessment and declaration rolls.
That's for a simple 'make it worthy of being incompatible with the Pure Mortal bonus' fix.

I think the latter sounds preferable. I'm loath to make looking into the future to see what I'll learn be easier than learning something.

But even with the latter...Assessment and Declaration difficulties are mostly arbitrary. Including a +2 in the Power that lets you make the Assessments and Declarations basically means that the difficulties are arbitrary -2.

Which is hardly tragic, but...it's not perfect.

Do you have any other ideas?

[Tedronai]

I'm silly.
It just occurred to me that knowledge rolls ARE assessments and declarations, rather than the separate item they're presented as in this power.
Should probably have a language cleanup to reflect that.
And in that light, yeah, I'd go with the +2 bonus over the -2 time increments.

Any other fix I would have for it would have its own foundation in more concrete rules for assessments and declarations.
