This means that while [[Precognition]] can predict the results of drinking brain brine, seed manipulation cannot alter its outcome for a given creature. However, since [[Clones | clones]] have their own random brain brine seed, it ''is'' possible to force a desired result by using Precognition, generating a clone, dominating it, and drinking Brain Brine. Once a clone receives the right roll, you can [[Permaswapping|permaswap]] with it to gain those selected benefits permanently. | ||
