There isn’t a big public one, but the inn has one, the estates have one each, and the academy has one.

I suppose there may be one in the streets somewhere for everyone as well, you’d have to make it up

[Kokyou]

Attention points here and here. Thanks.

Does Juijutsu 5 Mastery ability (FR when initiating a grapple) apply to the Sumai event?

Does Juijutsu 5 Mastery ability (FR when initiating a grapple) apply to the Sumai event?

Oh, good question too! I'd asked about the Jujutsu 3 ability in the other thread too

One here, viewtopic.php?f=247&t=1378&start=3

A more general question about Bonds.

You can call upon it a number of times equal to the bond rank, but the rank 2 seems to indicate that it's an always on effect. When you call on a bond, does it last for the entire scene or just for a single roll.

You always count as having one bonded character’s assistance on a check in which the bonded character is skilled as long as they are in the Thread/Scene

[Vutall]

It may not be clear from the writing, but that one when you call on it lasts the whole thread as long as they are in the thread with you.

[Iuchi Prashant]

One more general follow up question about bonds - when you call on the bond, you choose one of the rank abilities to use, or do you get all of the abilities from all ranks with one use of the bond?

[Vutall]

You choose 1

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

If we want to make a raise to reduce time on the crafting, do I need to make the same raises on all rolls, or only passing one roll to reduce time will already reduce time?

[Vutall]

For Time, you can call differently each roll, total combined time raises from all rolls adding their combined reduction

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

Is the public forge crowded at EM?

[Vutall]

There are a few folks working at it, but not overly difficult to work there. offers -2 to difficulty.

[Kaito Haruki]

Do we learn we are to have a 1 on 1 test with Doji Murashige before the mandatory event? Trying to see if a course of action would make sense in character.

[Vutall]

No, you don't learn until the event itself.

Please move to "Little Khanbulak". Noticed I posted it at the wrong place.

[Vutall]

Moved

[Kaito Haruki]

I believe I made a typo when I was showing sumai calculation, I got 29 points, not 20. Math is there if you want to double check.

[Vutall]

Fixed

[Utaku Ichiro]

Are we playing with the assumption that something like drinks at the sake house are covered by hospitality and/or one's lord or would that be expecting coin.
