General Questions

[Vutall]

Nope, it is not retroactive, so you keep your current wealth, but any increase you buy gets the discount.

[Kokyou]

Does the Ring bonus in the passed mediation roll for the Combat Training add to damage as well?

[Matsu Qiang]

My "final day 7" character sheet looks basically right (except Insight should be recalculated), but I did have a question about:

"any two Bugei Skills"

...which Matsu Qiang will get as part of his school skills. However during this game, Matsu Qiang has learned or will learn nearly all Bugei skills already, from events, sensei or xp. Would it be okay if I assign these "any two Bugei skills" to two skills that were learned during this game?

[Kaito Haruki]

You can choose any skill that you didn't buy with xp before day 1

[Vutall]

Yeah, it will be clearer at the end of D10 when I update your sheets with the remainder of your school skills.

[Kokyou]

On the Extra Credit event, to gain +1 to Trait/Void, the rolled number has to be exact the same as the TN, or equal+surpass it?

[Vutall]

Exactly the same.

[Matsu Qiang]

For the Extra Credit event, do you need to do the skill rolls in the listed order (i.e. have to do Athletics, then have to do Battle, then Calligraphy, etc, until you fail 3 times), or are you picking which skills you want to work on in any order (e.g. I could do Kyujutsu, then Meditation, then Battle, and never roll Calligraphy, if I wanted)?

[Kaito Haruki]

Not sure if this has been asked yet, but if we get Hiruma-sensei as a temporary ally, will we be able to use him for a rank in Lore: Shadowlands?

[Vutall]

Pick in any order.

If it’s in his school skills, yes

[Mai]

Pick in any order.

If it’s in his school skills, yes

Would this cause honor loss?

[Vutall]

No, not for being instructed.

[Miya Wyn]

you can only benefit from 1 successful Meditation and 1 Successful Tea Ceremony/ Day is that correct?

[Vutall]

correct

[Kaito Haruki]

Can we use an ally to gain a rank in a skill above the sensei? For example getting meditation rank 4 from Himeya-sensei who currently has Meditation 3

[Vutall]

Yes.

[Kakita Kenji]

Will there be an Advantage tax between part 1 and part 2?

[Vutall]

No. That will be made more cleara at the end of D10

[Iuchi Prashant]

Silly question V - of we want to try a Tea Ceremony (unskilled in my case), can we assume we may get appropriate equipment for doing so in the dojo, or do we need a thread for that?

Thanks!

[Vutall]

assume you have it
