Fortune Tellers
Their description says they can prevent bad events. Does this mean ALL bad events, or just a percentage of them? What's the formula here?
Thanks in advance, as usual.

Re: Fortune Tellers
Every bad event that gets rolled is checked individually against each fortune teller in the province. If the check roll is under the percentage chance of preventing a bad event, the event is canceled. Otherwise it happens as normal. Fortune tellers range from 3 to 10 percent and some summons may have as high as 20. The Jade Emperor pretender has FT 33 and the Great Seer of the Deeps has a whopping 75 fortune teller.

Re: Fortune Tellers
Are they accumlative in a province or does just the first one count towards warding off bad events?

Re: Fortune Tellers
Edi already answered your question GB. The bad event is checked off against each fortune teller, so having more is better.

Re: Fortune Tellers
Because every event Oracle foretells will happen, one way or another?
Reference Greek mythology, several examples (Achilles, Oidipus to name two).

Re: Fortune Tellers
Quite a bit of programming, that will never happen, yet
it would be cool if arco had a national hero: cassandra
that would tell you a turn in advance about a bad event.

Possibly an oversight. This ability is new since dom3, but the seer of the deep is a unit that stems from dom-ppp. When the ability was added some of the old seers got it, but not all I suspect. A fortunetelling oracle would not feel out of place either.

Re: Fortune Tellers
Bad events are NOT checked against each fortune teller. In fact, they are checked against the sum of all fortune tellers in a province. If you have ten fortune teller 10 mages in a province, they will block 100% of all bad events, instead of 65% if the events are checked against individual fortune tellers.
