The Visionary class

"Visionaries are seekers of the truth, looking out into the cosmos in the hope of finding glimpses of the future. They devote their lives to the pursuit of hidden knowledge, to finding that which has been lost, and to uncovering the truths hidden by the passage of the ages. Through the magic of visions, dreams and the stars, the visionary seeks to perceive what is to come, and even to manipulate the future they see."

For those who seek the path of the oracle, seer, or sooth-sayer, there is the Visionary class. Devoted to the discovery of new knowledge, these Visionaries seek to discover the secrets hidden from our eyes by the passage of time, peering into the future to discern what is to come.

The Visionary class focusses on exploration, role-played interactions, and problem-solving, although it is not deficient in combat. As a Visionary, you will be able to choose one of three Visionary disciplines:

• The Astrologer: Your search for hidden knowledge has lead you to contemplation of the stars and the heavenly bodies. You determine the nature of events to come through calculation and study.
• The War-seer: You find that the greatest mystery in this world is the mystery of battle. You grow to master the art of foreseeing your opponent's actions through specialised use of the Premonition feature, eventually even learning to slow or hasten time itself.
• The Dreamer: You seek the ultimate truth in the mysterious and hidden world of dreams. Your abilities are more intermittent, but they can reveal even the deepest secrets of this world.
