Effect: The discipline of precognition is the ability to estimate the best probable course of action,
or to estimate the probable outcome of an undertaking; this power applies only to the relatively immediate future.

Estimation becomes more accurate with increased levels of possessing the ability,
providing the number of unknown factors remains constant.
Precognition accuracy is also a factor of combined intelligence and wisdom scores:

                                                                                             Precognition Probability by Diifficulty

Total Intelligence and Wisdom Scores	Low	Medium	High
under 20	40%	30%	20%
30-33	50%	35%	25%
34-35	65%	45%	35%
36 & up	70%	50%	40%

For every level the ability is possessed,
the probability of being able to correctly precognate goes up by a percentage equal to the level
(2 levels equals 2%, 3 levels equals 3%, etc.)
but never beyond a maximum precognition probability of 90%.
The expenditure of psionic strength is directly related to the number of unknown factors which must be ascertained,
i.e. if there are six basically solvable unknown factors then it costs 6 points,
and the cost is not known to the individual precognating until after the fact.
(In order to precognate the results of a melee, for example, each attack must be made and counted as an unknown,
and in a melee with several individuals involved with several monsters, the cost per melee round could easily be 10 or more points.)
If the psionically endowed individual has insufficient points to completely precognate,
then the precognition ceases at the point when he has no longer any strength to continue.
Time is also a factor of precognating -- a short duration means a typically low difficulty factor.
If 1-4 turns is considered a short time, 5-30 turns is of medial difficulty,
and anything beyond 30 turns (5 hours) becomes a high difficulty precognition;
however, unknown factors will alter this rule, so that a short time precognition with many
(basically unsolvable) unknowns becomes a high difficulty precognition.

N.B. Precognition relies entirely upon the referee, and he will exercise utmost care in handling this ability usage.
