The same skill can be used each roll or does it need to be different skills each time?

The same skill may be used each time. Doing so will have the user take 1 strife equal to number of times that skill was done (i.e. the second, say, theology roll, would incur 1 strife. The third theology roll would incur 2 strife).

You start worrying about making sure everything you are doing is right.

In this event, Approach/Stances matter. Treat it almost like an Intrigue. You can spend opportunities based on your approaches to do things.

If you Unmask, you cannot proceed in the event (i.e. you strife yourself out on roll 2, and unmask to clear composure, you cannot proceed to step 3. Essentially unmasking ends your participation in the event).

Given various modes of providing assistance, mind if I set up a separate coordination thread?

Rolling late means screwing up rolls.

Had intended to roll Fitness/Air. Had a brainfart and rolled Fitness/Water which should trigger Perfectionism. Same dice pool, so I have custom redone the Perfectionism reroll.

Let me know if you'd like that handled in some other fashion. ^^

I'm presuming the Command roll benefits from Kuge Lineage.

Before I get further in, would doing this stuff with an obvious disdain for physical comfort / safety trigger either the Paragon of Courage Distinction or Daredevil Passion?

Command would benefit from Kuge Lineage.

I'd say no to the Paragon of Courage. Daredevil... I could be convinced.

How would Shuji interact here? I have Honest Assessment, but it's a Support Action, and from my reading, it's a separate action. Can I do it in addition to my rolls, or is it it a no go, or?

To add to the chaos... Perfectionism's an Anxiety (+3 strife +1 Void Point) not an Adversity (the one requiring a reroll).

Welp. I will edit after work.

+1 more Momentum to the total. I have the space for the Strife, so that's fine.

I got to try out the fully customizable roll section of the dice roller. So I guess that was mildly useful confusion.

If you choose to Honest Assessment, it would be in place of oje of your rolls, in order to assess another PC.

The Actions in Honest Work count as Support actions for the purposes of techniques

Would Traditional adherent apply to any of the rolls? Maybe Theology? And if so... I'm assuming only if I used an Earth Approach, yeah?

Paragon of Honour (for one of the Social rolls maybe?) or Quick Reflexes (for Fitness?) I think would be stretching it, right? XD

Also - you haven't listed Bullheaded as one of the Adversities that apply, so I'm guessing it would apply, yeah? (Even if it kinda might, in my head! XD)
