Sure, I'll allow it since it's not "real" combat.Susumu Sumiko wrote: Tue Nov 25, 2025 9:00 am If you use void on one of the rolls as part of the hunting/attacking and fail, can you still void the damage that hunt round?
Clarified in the event now! Only if you fail part two now.Soshi Kotori wrote: Tue Nov 25, 2025 9:06 am Sooo, if you don't find the animal, do you still take damage for the failure for Cursed by the Realms? Or is it only if you fail part two of the hunting roll?
Does that include the Sailing roll or just the attack?The hunter will need to make a Sailing/Agility at TN20 to rush out to open waters, where there is a great likelihood they will be hunted by a Greatshark. On success, they may make an attack skill roll using Firearm/Reflexes or Engineering(Siege)/Intelligence at TN20 or perform a Level 3 spell casting roll. This is done against a Greatshark, and it has less Honour. The attack is done in Attack Stance. If the attack is successful, the hunting party converge and finishes off the Greatshark, albeit with some difficulty. The hunter receives 4 Hunt Points on a successful roll and an additional 1 Hunt Point for each Called Raise.
If the roll fails, the hunter is maulled by the Greatshark for 6k3 Damage before the hunting party quickly retreats. Fail or pass, the hunter may choose to hunt a Greatshark again as one of their three choices or as a tiebreaker (see Outcome below).
Now clarified in the event. It is for the attack only.Kaiu Tetsu wrote: Tue Nov 25, 2025 9:09 am Regarding the Great shark option

One for the Shiawase Rally!Miya Kisha wrote: Tue Nov 25, 2025 9:25 am May we get a spectation thread for the Rally? Maybe just an "official" bar event where it's being shown?
Or is this one that we should start ourselves, have competing watch parties?
Might need a reference, as I think that's only Piloting?Bayushi Senshuken wrote: Tue Nov 25, 2025 9:28 am Do we get the +5 bonus in the driving tests if we have 5 ranks in the skill?
This has changed now! The race minimum finish is 5 Time Units. No time travelling!Shinjo Suh-Hyun wrote: Tue Nov 25, 2025 9:46 am One of the upgrades lowers total time by 2 if you pass 3/5 of the skill checks. This allows for a time of 3 if someone goes nuts and uses the unlock void upgrade to reduce all the courses to 1 time unit.
That's less time units than courses, was that the intent?
There is no maximum wear on the cars.Shinjo Suh-Hyun wrote: Tue Nov 25, 2025 10:39 am One other question for clarity. Is their a maximum amount of wear on the cars? The Suspension implies there might be or does it just to help stage 5?
Sorry, this is to imply there is a maximum with this upgrade but none without.Rugged Suspension: A vehicle hold a maximum of 6 Wear Points. The passengers will not suffer any damage in the race. See the stage on Mount Nakahama for relevance.
3 different upgrades.Susumu Sumiko wrote: Tue Nov 25, 2025 11:28 am For the rally, do you have to pick 3 different upgrades or can you pick the same one 3 times?
Abstract "blast 'em with generic magic" spell!Agasha Sorato wrote: Tue Nov 25, 2025 10:47 am For using attack spells in the Hunt, is the intention that you need to possess and cast a specific damage-dealing spell of the specified ML? Or is it a more abstract “blast ‘em with generic magic”?
