Divination in Glorantha

One way to make Divination work in Glorantha gaming is to make the
result of the divination a skill modifier. Instead of the divination
saying "I see you throwing millet to crows and ascending to the top
of the tree" thereby giving the player a too-clear guide to what to
do to succeed, make the divination say "on this day social and
intellectual abilities will be unaffected, but violence will be
hindered and you will do well with money. -5% to all combat skills,
+5% to all mercantile skills." I used the Tarot categories but it
would be possible to use other categories. Just choose them based on
what's most fun to use in the game.
