Augury

From PathfinderWiki
The Cosmic Caravan is used by astrologers to predict the future.
This article covers a form of predicting the future. For the spell, see augury (spell).

Practitioners of the divinatory art of augury attempt to derive knowledge of future events from natural circumstances in the present. Forms of augury include astrology1 and magical spells. Augury, like all forms of prediction in the Age of Lost Omens, is fallible.

Followers of certain deities, such as Desna, are sometimes able to enhance their augury through divine intervention.2 Certain magic items can enhance feats of augury.34
