A relic of the Last War, this life-size porcelain construct is said to see with incredible insight and perception, being able to predict the future with uncanny accuracy. It is similar to a Warforged in construction, and they can share some kind of similarity with the Oracle, but it seems to lack the spark of individuality and soul which a true warforged possesses. It speaks with a soft, feminine voice and slightly halting tone.
Statistics: The Oracle has an Intelligence score of 20 (+5) and a proficiency bonus of +5 with any skill, allowing it to answer questions on everyday topics or sagely specifics with an impressive level of competence, as well as having competent conversational skills. However, if allowed to digest knowledge about a topic for at least an hour, with detailed back-and-forth questioning to every level of specificity it can imagine ("Did the attacker come from the east end of the alley, or the west?", "Was the attacker left-handed or right-handed?", "Were the pieces of dirt on its shoes brown, or more of a grey colour?", "Did the attacker speak with an Aundairian accent, with emphasis on rolling 'R's and mellifluous intonations?", "The dagger they used, was it heavy on the pommel, with a drop-tip, reinforced fuller, and steel-alloy construction ?", and so on), then it can then use this knowledge to construct a detailed answer to a single complex question ("Who was the attacker, and where can we find them?" with 94% accuracy ("The attacker was Harlan Nalban, a fallen paladin of the Silver Flame, left-handed, and with a heavy tread on his right foot due to a battlefield injury. He spends time in an inn in Sharn called the Burnt Candle between 4 and eight bells of an evening. He will likely be forewarned of your coming, and forearmed."). However, on a roll of 95-99, it delivers slightly incorrect information ("The attacker was Harlan Gnoban, a paladin of the Silver Flame. He can be found in the Burning Lantern and is four armed."). On a roll of 100, it shudders and clicks, spewing incomprehensible gibberish ("Attacker left forearm candle fallen baker's dozen."). Whatever the result, it shuts down for seven full days following this service to recharge. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 16 December 2020. Comments are closed.
