General Questions

[Vutall]

No benefit.

[Vutall]

Whenever I ask for a check, please assume the TN is 6 unless I say otherwise.

[Vutall]

Updated the NPC cast list with the Sensei's school and some of their known information

[Vutall]

ALL rewards and XP expenditures take effect the NEXT game day, so whatever you earned (A skill, trait, advantage, disadvantage, honor, glory, etc) on Day 1 do not take place until day 2, and so forth.

[Utaku Ichiro]

So for earning an ally for training:

Earn D1 (Get Ally)
Train D2 (use Ally)
Get skill boost D3 (Get benefit of training)

Is that correct?

[Vutall]

That is correct.

[Toritaka Sasaiko]

Can I hold on to the Ally, either for later in the game or, perhaps, something more permanent?

Apologies if this has been answered already.

[Vutall]

You can hold it til later in part 1, but by the end of part 1 you lose the advantage and its benefit.

[Vutall]

For anything that references your School rank (such as initiative or natural healing) you are considered to be rank 1.

[Kaito Haruki]

Considering that damage is a big thing and that we don't have any spells, can we at least reduce the difficulty of medicine checks. It takes a tn 15 medicine check just to heal 1k1 and I doubt any of us have the ability to make that with consistency

[Vutall]

We've got sensei here for that.

[Kaito Haruki]

So how often can we ask a sensei for help with healing, if at all?

[Vutall]

Once a day.

[Kaito Haruki]

Assuming mechanically that is a medicine check under normal conditions, only using path to inner peace if we get knocked out?

[Vutall]

Generally, PtiP only if you are over +5 for penalties.

[Mai]

Twofer for timeslot questions.

1. If Mai starts going to bed early so she's awake at the Hour of Ox, can she go to the library to study or is she still confined to the dorm? If confined, can she make a request due to her being attacked?

2. The characters may not participate in two non-mandatory events in a row, does that count for open to all ones like creepy eyes sleep one from D1?

[Vutall]

1: As long as your performance isn't slipping, the sensei won't care what you do as long as it doesn't disturb others.

2: events that are not hard locked to participants does not count. You'll know when participation in something would lock you out for the next one for the 24h after posted rule.

[Mai]

So, if we are looking for justification to learn something later, can we join someone's Sensei Ally learning Thread? If so, is right to assume that it won't count as learning from the Sensei since we'd be using XP to raise it at a later date. Am I correct?

[Vutall]

Ypu could join their thread, just youd have to spend xp to get the skill

[Doji Sakura]

Step 3-Returning to the Dojo
If the player succeeds in sneaking out, when they return to the dojo they must do any of the three approaches listed above using the same rules.

Distracting the guards has the guards TN increased to 25 if done in the hour of the Rat or Ox, 20 if during the hour of the Boar or Tiger, and 15 during any other hour. The guards dice pool is 6k3 as a new, fresh set of guards is at the entrance.

Failure on any approach will cause the student to lose 5 dojo points.

If a student is not back in time for the morning event (Hour of the Dragon), whenever they return they will be immediately apprehended by a sensei, reprimanded, and sent home in great shame.

This just says the 3 approaches (climb, disguise, distract). Do we have to do the stealth roll again as well?
