VMC Oracle clarification


Rules Questions


Going over VMC rules for an upcoming game, and noticed Powerless Prophecy calls out a skill called flash of insight, which isn't in the main list of revelations. Its under and archetype. Does this mean its listed under all Mystery's?

Example, If I choose Powerless Prophecy as my curse, and Waves as my Mystery can I select Flash of Insight, in addition to the normal list of revelations.

Second... Powerless Prophecy states I can't act in in the surprise round, and if there is no surprise round, I'm staggered for the first round. Does this mean I cant set up ambushes? As I couldn't make use of my surprise round, and if I'm launching an ambush I would always be staggered from the start?


If you are asking if you can take that as a VMC oracle, the answer is no. Your options are listed explicitly.


No, you cannot select Flash of Insight. The curse just makes allowance for it if you have it, it does not grant any special way of gaining it. And yes, you can effectively never ambush if you take that curse, as you cannot act even if you initiate the surprise round.


I figured as much on both fronts, I appreciate the speedy reply from you both. Thanks! :)
