Excellent suggestions I will put them in my mental WIP box for modifications.

Flint Steele: I suggested perhaps alway a new "hand" to be drawn once per session. The hand still lasts between sessions if you don't draw another though.
Perhaps work that Fatigue thing into it, with a power later on that lets you draw one card for a point of fatigue.
Where you discard your current hand, take 1 fatigue and redraw the same amount (minus 1, because the fatigue)

Adjusted Drawback: Max Threads available was reduced by one each time a Thread was spent on a generic Resource Point ability?

Further suggestions, because someone's gotta look after this.

The Loom Spins: Whenever another character in the current scene is granted a reroll from any effect (such as spending a Hero Point or use of a Luck feat), the Precognator is Dazzled until the end of their next turn as they struggle to readjust from reality forcibly shifting.

Wording suggestion is to allow other ways of rerolling like the Blademaster feat. An alternative condition would be whenever a die is rerolled, which makes other people having specialties very dangerous and makes the weakness relevant in later levels. An alternate penalty could instead be a stacking -1k0 penalty on all actions in your turn for every reroll, but that might be too harsh.

Fourth Dimensional Awareness: Even when relaxed you are able to see normally invisible traces of possible outcomes. Gain the Danger Sense feat. You begin play with one free rank in Divination Magic School. The Precognator may purchase ranks in this Magical School as if it appeared in their class progression.

You don't end up wasting XP to buy Danger Sense when you're already incapable of being surprised. Also cribbed the wording from the Daemonhost's Daemonic Tutor.

| Viewing Spoilers: Gain the Common Sense feat. You may spend 1 Thread to use it on another character, rolling against their Mental Defense+5. If you succeed you learn a general, one-sentence summary of what they plan to do in the current scene. This information is not absolute and people can change their minds depending on how the situation plays out.

✱✱✱ | Byakugan: As long as you're not Blinded, you may substitute Perception for Acrobatics when making a Dodge maneuver. If you have spent Threads in the scene you gain a free raise on the test.

✱✱✱ Alternative | Unnamed: Whenever you succeed at a skill test with two or more raises, you gain a Thread if you didn't spend any on it.

Asset suggestions

Mulligan: Once per scene you may discard your current set of Threads for a new one that is one point smaller. You cannot use this asset if you currently have one Thread left.

Unnamed 2: You may spend a Hero Point to use Precognition on a single Thread for damage rolls and Focus Power tests.

Stack Overflow: Whenever you spend Threads on a test, you gain a static bonus on your next one equal to the amount spent. (e.g. Spending 3 Threads on a test adds +3 on your next one.)


And lastly, an alternate means of recovering Threads instead of the Full Action bit. Also, Power Stat limits how much one can spend per round anyway.

A Precognator has a number of threads equal to their Willpower + Stitching. Threads are a pre-rolled set of d10 results a Precognator can use for rolls. Regardless of how they are utilized, Threads are always used in descending order. A new set of threads is automatically gained when the current set is depleted. Spending Threads for non-Precognition purposes can only be done Stitching+1 times per scene.

Also, remind me again why auto-refreshing threads Oh right, free healing.
