(I think Ender's crashed and this is pretty innocuous. So in the spirit of asking forgiveness when permission is in limbo...here we are).

Since I've gotten a PM already tossing Opp-based Assistance for my Theology roll (because it was really hard to guess the ishiken was likely to have theology), I thought someplace to coordinate would be useful.

If you have assistive tech, or similar opportunity-based help/strife reduction/etc. to pass along, here's a place to do it outside the flow of the event thread.

I have Honest Asessment, and Command actually, so I think I can use it on someone with an obvious disad maybe?

I'll leave that for someone who hasn't rolled already. Not least because I think I want to be done editing on this one. XD

Reminder that Stances and the benefits/opportunities from them apply to this one.

Most useful (opinion only, of course):
Fire - extra successes for each strife could bump up momentum fast
Void - or just don't take strife from the dice at all

As there's not opposition and all actions applicable are rolls Earth, Air, and Water don't provide a usable stance benefit.

There's a generic option if you've got two opportunities you don't what do you with (max once per roll):

(Opp)(Opp): Provide assistance (see page 26) to the next character to attempt a check to accomplish something similar

Outside that, I won't surprise anyone by saying Scorpion schools are more focused on hindering other people than helping them.

EDIT: I was of course taunting the RNG gods with this message... and they delivered.

Earth/Water are 3, Air 2, and I have Fitness, Commerce and Command (I think)?

Definitely need someone to hop in with Courtesy. Assistance is very nice to have on rolls.

If someone can rope her in, Kasumi is at 0 Strife for the day, Fire 3, and has Fitness, Commerce, and Aesthetics, all at a towering 1.

... Could also try some version of Stirring the Embers, since her school gives her a friggin' shuji for some reason

Also, since I borked my first roll in several ways, there is actually one more total Momentum in the pool. For those doing summations in their post going forward. I'll fix it after work. Right now I'd rather devote the limited time to getting some posts written, rather than repaired.

Passing along a Labor assist to the next Laborer!

Hirame is invested, and you sleep next door! He can drag you along. Take the Labor assist he just provided!

Tsk!

Well, you can do okay with the Labor assist and SFS. I'm getting a lot of use out of that tech!

I've got... only Fitness -_-' Maybe an add that could apply, but with an approach I'm bad in.

I guess could use opportunities to help others, possibly?

My Labor assist is still available, and grants 1 skill die to whoever takes it!

Hell, maybe you'll get some unskilled explosionpalooza

Also offering 1 skilled labour assist and 1 unskilled Command assist.

By my math, we're 4 points shy of a best-case scenario, so hopefully someone snaps up those assists...

So... we can assist as an action instead of rolling, is that it?

If so, I can provide skilled assistance for a Fitness roll if that helps more than rolling something!

Same, rolled a lot of double opportunities.
