Lucky Numbers

After the Astrologer has spent (60 - Rank) consecutive minutes observing a querent,they may spend 5 FT and attempt to find their 'Lucky Number'. If they are attempting this operation in an observatory, their chance is PC + 6 per Rank in Astrology. Otherwise, they must Break 100: PC + 3 x Rank in Astrology, to reflect the difficulty of performing the operation without the appropriate equipment.
If they are successful, and the querent is not Death-aspected, then percentile dice are rolled and the result recorded. If the querent should roll that number for any reason, then they may read it as a '01' or a '00' result at their choice. This will be their lucky number for 9 x Rank days. If the querent is Life-aspected, they are allowed 2 lucky numbers.
