Seance

A character with the séance proficiency knows the methods used to contact spirits, deities, or extra-planar powers. Using Ouija boards, pyromancy (divination by candles), tarot cards, etc., the PC can ask questions of these powers as if using a Speak With Dead spell (no body required, and no time limit given).

Before beginning the contact, the character must prepare himself for half an hour, making sure the area has no spirits around to confuse readings. Contact with the dead can be established if a successful check is made; a failed roll reveals nothing. If the roll was more than 10 under the number needed, a specific spirit can be contacted. A roll of four or more above the needed number (or a 20) reveals incorrect information - a malevolent spirit, etc.

The psionicist can ask questions of these spirits, but the spirits are not obliged to answer. If annoyed, the spirit can sever the link at will. The character may ask 1-3 questions, plus one for every slot above two spent on this proficiency. Contact may not be made more than once per day and is inadvisable more than twice a week. The dead hate being disturbed, and some may take revenge. However, even the dead are not omniscient, and mistakes can be made.
