For Survival of the Most Eligible:

Does Benten's Apply to the social rolls?

Will Bayushi 1 help me out at all?

Does Dangerous Beauty come into play on Test of Leadership only if I choose Temptation? Or can it apply to Courtier?

BB would apply to Courtier, Sincerity and Temptation.

It will. Meikuko has a mental Disadvantage worthy of it. 1FR for Social Rolls.

DB only applies to Temptation. And it would.

If we can avoid auto failures by not rolling the second time, I'd like to know. As well I probably would of only rolled the once.

This step has to be passed. Hiraga is a jerk in this, he won't entrust the regiment to anyone who cannot lead troops and win no matter how awesome they are in all other things.

For The Tethering, in Act#2, if your advantages or disadvantages are modified by your Clan, do you use the original cost, or the modified cost?

Let's settle for what's on sheet.

Pretty pretty pretty please can the Teppodoka event not be on the same day as two other heavily void-using events?

Is d2 not an option?

Miya Suihime · **Joined:** Mon Sep 18, 2017 6:30 pm **Posts:** 903

Also a quick question here

I understand your point but I think avoiding collision with the captain event is more important. Besides, the whole point of multi-rolling is to decrease the salience of VP in the overall curve. I also encourages prioritising where you really want to apply the edge rather than trying to get everything. I realise it will be an intensive day like no other and hence it will likely last longer than 3 days, but D2 needs to see finalisation of assigning leaders not opening the box for reshuffle. It will be much lighter in events as important role-playing developments are about to happen, both in the setting sense and personally, as matches will be announced. I really cannot stick teppodoka event in there.

Is there anywhere were we can recover void points through tea ceremony? Also does the tea ceremony with Mama Miya recover our void points?

Kannon · **Joined:** Sun Oct 02, 2016 2:58 am **Posts:** 3783

No and no.

Can you meditate in threads where you took place in an event?

Kannon · **Joined:** Sun Oct 02, 2016 2:58 am **Posts:** 3783

As per off-screen rules, I'll allow it. It's done before or after the event, not in the middle.

Redeeming Qualities. Odorihime is willing to entertain your expounding of your own virtues, just stay on subject and don't go overboard. The TN of this roll is 50 minus five times the cost of your priciest Advantage, to the minimum of TN5. She is also aware of your reputation: if you took part in the "What's in a Name" event, choose one of the Skills you used in that event that is not a Low Skill. Merchant Skills require one Raise for no effect. You can call as many Raises as you want on this roll, and 9s explode alongside 10s, but you lose 5VIP for each increment of 10 you overroll as Odorihime finds it to be bragging with diminishing substance. If you have not acquired such reputation yet, the roll is without such modifications: you are normally limited in raises and dice don't additionally explode, but neither are you punished for overrolling. In both cases prior to the roll you may choose to add your Glory Rank to the total.

I'm a little unclear on this roll; does this use the same trait and skill as the chosen skill from "What's in a Name", only with a different TN, infinite raises allowed, and 9s explode?

Can we choose to keep dice other than the highest roll in order to avoid overshooting the TN?

Kannon · **Joined:** Sun Oct 02, 2016 2:58 am **Posts:** 3783

One of those rolls if you used a variety, with the default trait. Otherwise yes.

And no you can't. Calibrate your raises and play a game with Orokos.

For Test of Belligerence in Survival of the Most Eligible, can your emphasis apply to the training weapons? Like, is a shinai close enough to a katana for me to use my katana emphasis?

Can we have clarification on this part:

I have someone special in mind. Name an eligible PC or an NPC and follow normal rules of spending VIPs for securing a spouse. GMs can shoot down your NPC request - Odorihime declares that person being off-limits. Suggesting same-sex relationships is a Major Breach of Etiquette. If all criteria are met: VIPs are sufficient, Odorihime agrees, the other character's player agrees and no special circumstances take place - this is your betrothed.

1) Does this mean that to marry someone specific outside of your clan/faction, it will cost 100 vip before anything else?
a) If the above is yes, is this 100 vip between the two of you?
b) If the above is no, what is the cost?

Kannon · **Joined:** Sun Oct 02, 2016 2:58 am **Posts:** 3783

100 between you too.

Do we have the results of the Day 0 events?

As they pretty drastically effect what I do in the Day 1 Events . . .

Kannon · **Joined:** Sun Oct 02, 2016 2:58 am **Posts:** 3783

On it.
