Power Profile: Precognition

The hero sees the future. Precognition is partial, unreliable, and usually arrives in flashes — a single image, a phrase, a feeling. The Doomed playbook is built around it; other playbooks treat it as a curse.

Unleash Your Powers applications: ask the GM about a coming threat, identify a hidden enemy, narrate a future. Costs at 7-9: the vision incomplete, the cape paying for the look in conditions, a future that does not necessarily come true. Costs at 6-: the future the cape sees comes true because they saw it.
