Re: Test of the Mind Questions
For the Medicine check, since it's an essay from memory, would the Stories Passion apply?
For the Government check, would the Kuge Lineage Distinction apply?

Not this time. Doji Diplomat relies on interpersonal communication. This is you, a pile of scrolls, and writing what you've foundKakita Ahiru wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 5:12 pmAsking this every test probably...

Another question! If one has a Paragon advantage, could that possibly be used in Step 3?
Since a paragon might argue that upholding the virtues of bushido might be part of both governing and governed.Step Three: "What is the responsibility of the governing? What is the responsibility of the governed?"

Re: Test of the Mind Questions
If I reroll due to Allergy (OH NO, MY DARK SEEKRIT IS OUT! Or something), and fail, do I get a VP back?

Re: Test of the Mind Questions
Huh...could I use my Distincton of Ally (Miya Tetsu) on the last government roll, if I'm writing about emulating his style?
I already rolled, so it might not be relevant, but just thinking here.

I could see an argument. As you've already rolled, though, it won't apply.Kaeru Kaori wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 6:13 pmHuh...could I use my Distincton of Ally (Miya Tetsu) on the last government roll, if I'm writing about emulating his style?

For Step One: "I apologize for the crudeness of the model. It is not to scale." since Taura has her own tools with her (who knew those would come in handy?) can I use the Kaiu Technique: Masterful Builder, p 59.
No big either way, but it would be fun to get to use my technique in the championship.
