Indifference Neither good nor bad

By casting gem-inlaid sticks, rolling dragon bones, laying out ornate cards, or employing some other divining tool, you receive an omen from an otherworldly entity about the results of a specific course of action that you plan to take within the next 30 minutes. The GM chooses from the following possible omens:

  • Weal, for good results

  • Woe, for bad results

  • Weal and woe, for both good and bad results

  • Nothing, for results that aren't especially good or bad

The spell doesn't take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion.

If you cast the spell two or more times before completing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get a random reading. The GM makes this roll in secret.

Augury 5.5e 2024 vs. 5e 2014 edition differences

The 2024 version adds druid and wizard classes, changes the casting time to "1 minute or Ritual," and clarifies the omen table with explicit options, including "Indifference." It also states the spell "does not account for circumstances," replacing "doesn't take into account" and specifies "no answer" when casting multiple times.
