Augery and Divination
Hi,
My Cleric player has been making judicious use of Augery and Divination. Have other parties used these frequently?
Here are some recent examples:
Furio casts Augery [Party already knows there will be a gladiator
fight on June 3![0]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/alien.gif)
Augery 1: "Would it be good to go to the gladiator fight in disguise
and try to get some information?" -- Weal and Woe
Augery 2: "Would it be good to ask the gargoyles for information?" -- Woe
Augery 3: "In the parties present state, how would we fair in an
attack on the Water Temple" -- Weal
Divination: "Where is the water Temple?" -- 'Its on the far side of
the lake'
Furio casts Augury and asks "Would be successful/victorious if we set a trap for people coming to the gladiator match tomorrow?"
Answer - "Weal"
Furio casts Divination and asks "What forces are against us at the bridge with the blue winged demon?"
Response: "Large, ever living, and ferocious"
Furio casts Divination again and asks "What particular vulnerability can we exploit?"
Response: "Decapitation wins the day."
Furio casts several Auguries.
Q1: "Weal or woe to keep the sphere?" A: Weal
Q2: "Should we get the remaining spheres?" A: Weal
Q3: "Weal or woe to move through the anvil and altar room?": A: Weal and woe
Q4: "Should we go through the door at the back of the golem?" A: Weal
Furio then casts Divination Twice
Q: "St. Moradin, In order to restore your temple to its former glory, is it enough to recover the artifacts?"
A: "No, this temple can be restored through my people"
Q: "St. Moradin, how do we safely bypass the golem?"
A: "Dwarven priest"
How do you think I am doing? Is there anything I could do better with my answers?
Thanks,
*:>Scott

One minor thing I am seeing wrong with your interpretations (which are otherwise quite good):
Quote:
"The augury can see into the future only about half an hour, so anything that might happen after that does not affect the result."
Augury 1 would answer weal/woe if the PCs left right then in disguise and headed for the fight...and if they couldn't reach there in the next half hour, would only reveal information about the journey to said fight. Likely answer: No Result.
Augury 2 would be the same, although if they were close enough, it would be in the context of asking the Gargoyles right now for information, not during the fight.
Augury 3 would only be applicable if they were within a half-hour's travel from the Water Temple.
"Match tomorrow" Augury would be: No Result.
Q1 Augury: No result (unless they'd have reason to use the sphere in the next half-hour).
Q2 Augury: No result (unless they'd have reason to use additional spheres in the next half-hour).
Augury is very limited to the here-and-now (hence the low level). Other than that, your approach seems to be just fine.

Re: Augery and Divination
Thanks for posting these (and responses). I sometimes have a tough time doing these on my feat during a session, so it's great to read some more examples to chew on. Aside from the bit Andorax mentioned, I think these are good responses, better than I usually come up with on the spot
