away an approaching army is, a “1” shows that it’s
of the yes/no oracle close by, and a “6” shows it’s very far away.
The only way to influence the outcome of the yes/no
oracle is through skill checks and spells. If you
succeed in a skill check that’s relevant to the question,
you can add +3 to the oracle’s answer. Alternatively,
you can subtract -3 from the answer if it will be more
favorable.
If a player wants to use a spell to change the
outcome, the spell will take the place of the skill
check. The player can use any spell that’s relevant to
the question or situation.

Example
Rath wants to hide from a gang of thugs out to rob him.
He asks the yes/no oracle whether there is a place for him
to hide. He rolls 1, the answer is No, and… There is
absolutely no place for him to hide that he can see.

This is terrible for Rath who wants to make his escape. He

decides to try and blend into a crowd by rolling a Stealth
check. Rath’s skill check succeeds and he can add +3 to
the oracle’s answer.

The yes/no oracle’s final result becomes 4, Yes, but…. Rath

blends into a crowd of people, but he isn’t completely
hidden. He needs to be careful.

branching options
You can also use 1d6 to choose between two
possibilities. During your playthrough, you will be
confronted with branching possibilities and you wil
need to use dice rolls to choose between them.
During our previous murder scene, you decide
there are two possible murder suspects:

Option 1: A local criminal gang.

Option 2: A paid assassin.

To decide which of these options are responsible

roll a 1d6. A result of 1 to 3 chooses option 1, while a
roll of 4 to 6 would choose option 2. The logic of your
setting and your improvisation skills will provide you
with ideas for possible options.
