People can be born with this or gain it through freak accidents. If the latter, expect a [[Reset Button]]. Line 11 ⟶ 12: When a seer is really powerful, she is [[The Omniscient]] or a [[Omniscient Hero]]. However, it might turn out that she is [[Not So Omniscient After All]]. This can also lead into a [[Fantastic Aesop]] about not using this power for selfish gains. It can also lead to [[Fridge Logic]] about being able to see the future but not being able to to avoid and/or fix many problems. But then stories that do are often accused of having [[God Mode Sue~~\|God Mode Sues~~]]s. Although the latter can justify a [[Gambit Roulette]] because they the chance involved in such plans is negated by their powers. These types will likely invoke [[All According to Plan]] A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Psychic Powers]]. Line 17 ⟶ 18: A [[Sister Trope]] to [[My Significance Sense Is Tingling]] (a more vague feeling instead of visions). Not to be confused with a certain department store chain famous for its catalog... ----▼ '''[[Sub-Trope\|Sub Tropes]]:'''▼ ▲---- ▲'''[[Sub-Trope~~\|Sub Tropes~~]]s:''' * [[Blind Seer]] ** [[Prophet Eyes]] Line 81 ⟶ 83: == [[Tabletop Games]] == * In ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~& Dragons]]'', divination is the school of magic that specializes in gaining information, including clairvoyance. ** In the optional [[Psychic Powers\|psionics]] for 3rd Edition, seers are psions who specialize in the same. == [[Video Games]] == * Hannah from [[Fire Emblem Elibe]]. {{spoiler\|when she gets [[Put on a Bus]], Nils takes over her "oracle" duty.}} ** Also {{spoiler\|Prince Lyon}} from ''[[Fire Emblem: ~~the~~The Sacred Stones]]''. Who actually aquired said powers by {{spoiler\|experimenting with the Stone of Grado.}} * Bloomseer Poplar from ''Fallout 3'' is a prophetic old lady living in the settlement of Oasis. Her precognition factors into the gameplay: you can ask about your future, and she will tell you something related to quests that you have not yet discovered. ** The same goes for the Forecaster from ''Fallout: New Vegas''. He can pretty much sum up the whole game for 300 caps. * Fateweavers from ''[[Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning]]''. Contrary to the what the name implies, the Fateweavers can only see the Weave of Fate, they can't actually change it -- [[You Can't Fight Fate\|no one can]]. They were honored in the past, but nowadays have a poor reputation since people don't like to receive bad news and tend to blame the messenger. Their reactions to meeting The Fateless One are ~~mixed -- part~~mixed—part fear and shock that someone is able to alter the Weave, and part hope since the Fateless One can give them a new unwritten future. == [[Web Comics]] == * [[Dominic Deegan]] is a seer for hire. * In ''[[Drowtales]]'', the drowussu Chiri'nide and Shimi'lande Val'Kyorlsolenurn are seers, as is the leader of the light elves of Vanaheimr, Vala Hudr. Since it was revealed that {{spoiler\|drowussu are descended from light elves it may mean that prescience is a racial trait}}. == [[Web Original]] == * Apollo and Hera in ''[[~~Thalias~~Thalia's Musings]]''. They're both prophecy deities who can see visions of the future. * The Pythia in [[Greek Ninja]]. Line 102 ⟶ 104: * Pictured: Peek-A-Blue of ''[[She-Ra: Princess of Power\|She Ra Princess of Power]]'' * Lion-O of ''[[Thundercats]]'' and ''[[Thundercats 2011]]'' through the power of the Sword of Omens. * In ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'', Fenton Crackshell's mother gets this for an episode. * Sally from ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]'' has shades of this, though it's unclear if her premeditation is a one-time thing or if she can see the future often. * Several characters of ''[[Delta State]]''.
