Infinite Lotus (Stance) [Chaos]

In general, Infinite Lotus Disciples don't disagree - the truths of logic and mathematics do not hold up to variances of opinion. However, there are a few issues that divide even the staunchly logical. One such issue is the infamous axiom of choice - a matter of relatively surprising simplicity that has led to duels between high-profile practicioners of the Infinite Lotus in the past, and will likely to continue to do so in the future. Simply stated, the axiom of choice says that for any number of collections of objects, one object can always be chosen from each collection, even if the number of collections is unknown. Those martial adepts that accept the axiom of choice meditate on it whenever they are presented with a choice for which there is no easy solution - for the axiom will always yield a choice, if not always a good one.

As long as you remain in this stance, whenever you make a d20 roll, roll the d20 twice. Before you find out the results of either outcome, you may choose high or low. If you choose high, nothing additional happens. If you choose low, you gain a flash of insight, in the form of information about an important person, place or object. If your character is currently in pursuit of a specific person, place or object, these insights will always be about that particular person, place or object - otherwise, they are about whatever the GM feels appropriate. The information will be in poetic or unusual form, and cannot be longer than your initiator level in words plus an additional number of words equal to the difference between the two triggering d20 rolls. After this information is gained, the stance ends.

Note that the stance will not yield different information about the same person, place or object if it is used more than once. Only gaining a level 'resets' this capability (as the information can now be longer).
