Â That may be fine if you have a certain linkshell in mind for the character and work out the details with the leaders or if you communicate ahead of time with individuals how it works. Â If you go with someone who truly has the gift of clairvoyance, it could be a valuable and interesting RP tool if used correctly, but the potential for accusations of god-moding and metagaming are quite high, depending on your audience. Â If you're a cold-reading charlatan, that should be less difficult. Â That sort of thing happens all the time in real life.Well, some believe and some don't. I'm in the middle. I think some people do have a higher perception than others though, which can greatly aid in the reading of people.

In my mind, all psychics are fakes. Â Should be easy to fake faking it. Â I've actually lost friends in real life over this type of argument, so I'll just provide you with this link to an article about Cold Reading if you'd like to look behind the curtain. Â If you'd rather remain blissful about the mystical idea of psychics and reading the future, I don't suggest looking further. Â Ignorance is most definitely bliss when it comes to real world "psychic powers."
It is such a small niche for role play but I think it would be really fun to do for the community.
