What's the cap on the additional raises for this?Fine Dining: A truly exquisite dish is the special occasion itself, often associated with lords, champions or even Emperors. This dish is truly special and requires precise mastery to achieve; it can also be easily ruined if any shortcuts are taken. Make a roll of Craft: Cooking/Agility using the dice pool of 5k2 with all bonuses procured with action points (if any), adding the Craft: Cooking skill of the head chef. This is done at TN30 and grants 6 Cuisine Points on success. Additional Raises can be called.

Raises cannot be called for the event but can we spend VPs on craft:cooking/agility rolls?
I felt the event felt a little sparse for how complicated it was...Yes, one Cuisine Point per Called Raise. This is now noted in the event.Susumu Sumiko wrote: Wed Nov 19, 2025 7:59 am Thank you! I assume each raise is 1 point also? Or is it 2 (as the TNs go up by 5 and are 2 points increase for each bracket)
Edit: also do cooking actions use 1 Time Unit also or is it just ingredients/prep?
You cannot spend your character's VPs in the same way in this event. It is not your character cooking but them managing a collective team of heimen cooks. It is mostly character-independent, except for the Craft: Cooking skill of the head chef.Bayushi Hinata wrote: Wed Nov 19, 2025 8:14 am Raises cannot be called for the event but can we spend VPs on craft:cooking/agility rolls?
Yes, if I'm understanding the question right.Kitsune Kiyoshi wrote: Wed Nov 19, 2025 9:07 am Regarding the Ingredient actions that grant a Cuisine point, if the action is stackable and the next cooking roll is successful, is a Cuisine point granted for each time the action was used?
What if my base Craft: Cooking Dicepool is better than 5k2? Coudl I take over? maybe at a hit of Glory due to "Dirtying one's hands" with heimin tasks?Boogiepop wrote: Wed Nov 19, 2025 9:14 am You cannot spend your character's VPs in the same way in this event.

However, yes, you can spend Void to boost your character's skill for the one roll, resulting in +1 to the roll.
Nope!Bayushi Hinata wrote: Wed Nov 19, 2025 9:34 amWhat if my base Craft: Cooking Dicepool is better than 5k2?

Beat by Hatoful! But here's my take...Bayushi Hinata wrote: Wed Nov 19, 2025 9:34 am What if my base Craft: Cooking Dicepool is better than 5k2? Coudl I take over? maybe at a hit of Glory due to "Dirtying one's hands" with heimin tasks?

No, sorry, you cannot.
The situation is more or less a lot of heimen cooks in one kitchen and a short amount of time to prepare everything at once. It will be vaguely more or less equate to you making a singular cooking roll with traditional means (so none of the heimen cook worker placement bonuses in the framework event) by the time the event is finished.
I'm also not offering this as an option.
No, as the Head Chef is not the roller.Kaiu Tetsu wrote: Wed Nov 19, 2025 10:22 am Does the bonus from Kaiu technique apply to the event rolls? (+1k0 to all Craft rolls)
In both these cases it is a flat +1, turning a 5k2 into a 5k2+1.Kaiu Tetsu wrote: Wed Nov 19, 2025 10:22 am Also for clarity of syntax:
When it comes to adding Craft: Cooking, if you have rank one, the effective roll would be 6k2?
And as you can't spend void to add +1k1 is the "+1" mentioned a flat +1 (effective lowering TN by 1) or a +1k0

The limit is Time Units.Miya Kisha wrote: Wed Nov 19, 2025 12:07 pm Is there any limit to how many times Prep can be stacked? None is currently noted, but...
Why, yes!Tamori Kanna wrote: Wed Nov 19, 2025 1:35 pm The Wild Ingredients allow for Lucky re-roll when procured.
.... If we get it multiple times, do we get multiple Luck re-rolls?
