This is unlikely but I figured I might as well ask, since it's a bit different from your average event. We are using our will to change the dreams to our liking. So, if I'm changing my dream into a battle during the first part of the event. Could I benefit from Akodo rank 2 on the battle/willpower roll?"

Next question on the 3rd roll. Are bushi techs useable on the attack rolls?

I assume Benten's Blessing doesn't affect the social rolls for the sleep event but I figured I'd ask.

Might have gotten lost in the shuffle of all the questions. :)

EDIT: Also need to know if it interferes with the Sleep Event.

You may make any roll to break free of the dream that makes sense with the form you chose in The Dream Shapes the Form
When it says any roll, does it mean any skill/trait combo, or ANY roll (e.g. damage, honor, intiative, ring etc...)

Also, is it an attack roll if we choose it, for techs that apply specifically to attack rolls via weapons and stuff, like Stag bushi 1?

More general question on the Sleep Event:
Rolls:
The Will Shapes the Dream:
Success allows the character to move on to The Dream Shapes the Form, and each successful raise grants a Free Raise to The Form Shapes the Will.
Failure results in the character being lost in nightmares, and will suffer from the effects of Cursed by the Realm: Yume-do for the remainder of the game.
So basically: Failing Roll 1 gives you a disadvantage AND prevents you from continuing. That much seems clear! Then:
The Dream Shapes the Form:
A Success here adds a Free Raise to The Form Shapes the World, plus an additional Free Raise for each Called or Free Raise made.
Failure means you do not get this bonus, but may move on to The Form Shapes the World.
This one I'm unsure about. With the may wording, I've originally thought you MAY decide to continue even if you fail, but ARE NOT REQUIRED to do so. Like... 'may', not 'must'.

With that reading, the "event map" would look like:
Roll 1
Fail = Cursed
Success => Go to Roll 2

Roll 2
Fail = Choose: Stop here OR go to Roll 3
Success = Go to Roll 3 with a bonus (or stop here? not sure)

Roll 3
Fail = Cursed
Success = Gain advantage.
So you'd basically have a way to be neither cursed nor get the advantage (if you stopped at Roll 2).

But others have read this as you 'having' to go on to the third roll even if you fail (reding 'may' as 'must', basically). So basically you'd either get cursed (if you failed roll 1 or roll 3) or get the advantage (if you succeed both roll 1 and roll 3).

So... which one is it? :D

Thanks!

Oh, and assuming I ever get near Sakkaku again, does Disturbing countenance apply to the use of a social skill in the dream roll?

EDIT: And since we're all throwing out techs and advantages willy-nilly, even if it's a long shot, does Clear Thinker apply at any stage?

I'm guessing using social skills to impose will on the dream probably doesn't count as resisting a contested social skill/technique? Or a Fear effect?

(Pretty sure it's a no but you can't get what you don't ask for)
No, sadly.

Sora's so used to the reactions to Disturbing Countenance that I don't think he would think of it not being a thing, so it applies. I don't think Clear Thinker applies.

Right. Treat it as automatically providing a Heroic Opportunity and pick which one to use based on the circumstances already described.

I'm tempted to say yes just because of the wild mental images of what using Craft: Dairy could mean. But sadly, not on this one.

Does that apply to Togashi Tattoos as well, as they're not so much magic (no spellcasting) but a part of your person and spirit?
