Effect
Retroactively declare that you performed a minor preparatory action earlier in the day that is now relevant.
Examples: “I bought a length of rope in town,” “I memorized the guard rotation while we ate breakfast,” “I left a knife hidden under the table during the first meeting.”
Steps
+1 additional retroactive prep element per Step (each must be plausible).
Requirement
The preparation must be plausible given your skills and resources. The GM has veto power over implausible claims.
Special
This is the Seer’s most beloved utility Talent — it lets them always seem prepared. Whether they actually foresaw the need or are retroactively editing causality is an open question even among the Circle of Ash.
