Name:Prophet
Category:Professional
Description:A prophet is someone who can see the future in some fashion. Perhaps, they can only read omens and guess the future. Some actually see things that are going to happen (usually in dreams or while in a trance-like state). Some will see various possibilities, which gives them a chance to manipulate what happens.
The classic prophecy is a cryptic rhyme that makes no sense except to prophets. In some game worlds, they have to be deciphered. In others, any prophet who reads the prophecy will see it.
Combat Technique:Any.
Preferred Skills:Any.
Benefit:Prophets can see the future. Some people have a great deal of respect for prophets.
Disadvantage:It's not unusual for prophets to be burned as witches (or something like that) when they don't make everyone happy.
Fictional Examples:John Ross (Knight of the Word), Nathan Rahl (Sword of Truth series), Paul Atreides (Dune), Teiresas (Oedipus the King)
Real World Examples:Appropriate For:Anyone, though prophet players can be problematic.
