Part 2 Event Questions

[Kokyou]

Last time we gained D3 to be used D4. So, I guess it is gain D6 to be effective D7. Right?

[Vutall]

Yup, Ill be posting the XP gain shortly.

[Ikoma Eichiro]

For hunting, can we cooperate with others or should we treat it like a 1v1 thread?

[Vutall]

No cooperation sadly. Just a normal event where you make all the rolls on your own.

[Kokyou]

Can the Magnificence of Glory be used together with the Power of Status?

[Vutall]

Yes, you can use any number of bonuses together for a roll (status, honor, glory, void, bonds, etc)

[Ikoma Eichiro]

For courtier debates, do we choose the topic between us or will that be provided?

[Vutall]

You can choose! (The player who wins the initiative roll)

[Kaito Haruki]

In the assessment options for passing the roll, is the third bubble telling how many void points you opponent has? 6th one is Armor TN?

[Yasuki Ginkarasu]

Strike
Round: 3
Roll: Iaijutsu (Strike)/Reflexes

During the strike phase your center stance bonus still applies. You may add +1k1+[Void ring] to either your strike roll or your damage roll. You roll vs your opponent's regular Armour TN to see if you hit them or not

This is considered an Attack roll, but it is NOT a Skirmish/Combat. Bonuses to Attack Rolls may apply, but not bonuses that require a Skirmish/Combat.

You may continue to attack, but doing so is highly dishonorable. If you decide to continue to attack, conduct a Skirmish combat in initiative order. This will eliminate you from the competition.

If both players missed their strike is it still dishonorable, or does it go to a skirmish until first hit within custom for an honorable duel?

Additionally: Do you have the ability to spend void to increase your Armor TN by 10 versus your opponent's strike, within the Iaijutsu Round format?

[Togashi Dao]

What is the damage rating for the supplied swords in the iaijutsu matches?

[Utaku Nesrin]

ooo, good question. I was defaulting to standard katana since they were metal. But dulled... Well, k1 would be easier to not overstab someone than k2.

[Togashi Dao]

Once per session, you may add your Honor as bonus unkept dice to any roll excluding damage. To do so, you note in the post and the roll in Orokos that you are using your Strength of Honor bonus. Then, add your whole ranks of honor to the unkept dice of the roll. (So, if you are Honor 6, you would add +6k0 to the roll)

If you fail the roll however, you lose Honor as if you used a Low Skill.

How does this interplay with Focus rolls in case of a Kharmic Strike?

[Togashi Dao]

More dueling questions.

Can we call raises to inflict non-damaging 'hits' on the strike roll? Like cutting off mons and things?

[Vutall]

Void Ring, and Armor TN

If both players miss, they may swing until someone strikes and it is not dishonorable.

Increase his Armor TN by 10 for one round. This is done at the beginning of the combat Round.. A duel is not a combat, but traditionally there has been allowed raises for extra damage, which require a combat, so I will say Yes.

Damage of the swords is Katana profile (can spend void for +1k1) but a DR of 1k1.

Karmic Strike does not count as a failed roll, so no Honor Loss.

Called Shot is 4 Raises to cut off mons.

[Otomo Nobuko]

This was brought up in chat, but the maps that Miya Wyn's handing out grant +1k0 to skill rolls the person who possesses it makes while within the region it's for.

The wording is not clear if possession simply means it belongs to them, or if it means they must have it on their person.

[Vutall]

Possess is defined as: "have as belonging to one; own"

So I'll rule that as long as you own it, the bonus applies. If you lose it or something, the bonus is no longer granted

[Bayushi Kaidan]

Does clear thinker advantage work against stunned?

[Vutall]

No as it's not a contested roll

[Miya Wyn]

it almost became an issue but didn't so we were curious about the tie breaker in courtier

If I call 2 raises successfully
Opponent Negates Successfully
I call 2 raises Successfully
Opponent negates successfully
I call 3 Raises and score 7 points
Opponent calls 5 Raises and scores 7 points
I fail to negate opponent

We are Tied at 7 to 7
We each made 3 rolls successfully
Do I have 7 Raises, or 3 Raises Vs Opponents 5 Raises?
