The DM must decide on the exact nature of the prediction as well as the validity of the forecast. Specific events cannot be determined by this method.

To use this skill, the character makes a skill check based on how well he knows the character involved. Intimate individuals (like a spouse or sibling) have a DC of 10. Well known characters or having the individual on hand has a DC of 15. General knowledge about a character has a DC of 20. Vague association or information carries a DC of 25. Information about the self has a DC of 30 due to the prejudicial nature of the humanoid mind.
