What it is about
Inspired by the 2d6 Oracle Bookmark by Gwyllgi , this one attempts to bring the same kind of probabilities (or something as close as possible) using a single d20. This oracle has been modified in a few way that make it distinct, beyond the use of a d20. In the original "yes and", "yes but", "no and", "no but", "add if" and "add unless" all have the same chances to drop (8,33%) on a single roll. Now "add if" and "add unless" have a 5% chance, and the others a 10%. chance. Similar changes affect "events" and "terrain" tables. It misses the open-ended oracle, and I do not intend to add one. The reactions are different, inspired by the reactions from Vaults of Vaarn by Graculus Droog . It assumes there is a socialcharacteristic/skill in your games. The weather table has been done from scratch to be more climate agnostic. It basically means you have to determine what is considered as "normal weather" in the climatic/seasonal context of the play but it's no big deal. I added some roll regularity suggestions. It's really a barebone work, so if you have any feedback, I'd like to hear about it. Similarly, rate it weither you like it or not !
