Test of the Wilds Questions

Post by Ender » Thu Nov 18, 2021 7:46 am

Did you know that there are no disadvantages yet that say Animals don't like you? I didn't realize that until writing this event!

So, do Keen Balance or Keen Sight factor into this one?

Keen Balance can be applied to Step 1

Keen Sight to Steps 2 and 3.

I just have to ask because the possible answer cracks me up.

Does the Doji Diplomat tech apply to the Survival roll in step 1? :lol:

I just realized that I have an error on my sheet. My Survival should be higher. As such, I didn't roll the correct dice. May I fix that?

Yes. You should have 2 Survival based on your 20qs.

You may add the missing Skill die

It's 3, actually. Should I just roll those dice or should I redo that roll entirely?

Thinking on it, where it's not like Star Wars where we can just manually add and subtract symbols - I'll allow the reroll. Same modifers applied.

May Arami use the Air opportunity spends on the judge, Shinjo Batzorig?

He has five Air opportunities to spend, and would like to learn his Demeanor, two interesting details about him, and, upon your discretion, determine two details - I was thinking to see a lavender netsuke hanging by his waist as well as noticing flecks of blue in his eyes to indicate some Crane ancestry.

What I have in mind is to maybe find Shinjo-sama strolling through the Garden Park one day admiring the lavenders there, an appreciation for beauty encouraged by his lineage despite the hardships of the wild.

Normally I've said Approach opps spends don't apply in Topaz events, to prevent Fire stance spam. But this is harmless, and helps flesh out the very minor NPCs I created
