Question about Fortune Tellers ...

[Kjeld]

I have always wondered how exactly Fortune Tellers, Volva and other commanders that are supposed to prevent bad luck worked.
Do numbers matter ? (ie : if you have 5 volva, you are 5 times more likely to prevent a bad event than if you have ?) Does the location matter (do they prevent event "worldwide" or only in their current province, and in that case, do numbers matter ?) ?

Thanks !

My understanding is that they're per province and don't stack (and further that fortune tellers are MUCH weaker than other preventers).

Your answers are in this thread.

The great seer prevents 75% of bad events in his province, the norna prevent 15%, and fortune tellers prevent 5%. This is most likely a 5% chance per fortune teller, checked individually.

Yes, I have seen this thread, but the only info given is the %. It is still unclear (well, english is not my primary language, and I can be very dense sometimes too ) whether the chance to avoid a bad event is worldwide or per province, and whether having more than one matter (stacking bonuses, individual checks, or only one check).
Thanks in advance

It's province only. 5% and checked individually (AFAIK)

So if you have multiple Fortune Tellers in a province, and a bad event comes up, each one has a 5% chance to cause it to be 'avoided' or it will affect the province.

The link didn't contain any more information that what I had already posted.
