Asking for a friend, purely scientific reasons... :geek:

Would grandmother Amaterasu give any bonus to resisting Lord Moon's Curse on the day of their wedding (since she also popped in Early Evening to say hello to Thunders)?
Sure, I don't see why not. She'll free Satsuki from having to worry about it that day. No need to worry about bonuses or anything.

When you are in Yume-do, either physically or dreaming, as a Simple Action you may make a TN 20 Willpower roll to change one thing about the environment or raise or lower a Ring of an existing Dream Object (one discreet object, such as a sword, a flower, a person, etc.) by one. Attempting to alter a sapient being in this manner is a contested Willpower roll.
If I use Lucid Dreaming to successfully change something, can I use Lucid Dreaming again the next round to change something else? Or is it once per scene?

Specific example: in the day 6 combat Ayako has lucid dreamed to tie the dream house to reality. Can she use also use Lucid Dreaming next round, to lower one of the monster's Rings or change the environment in a different way?

Sure can. The cost to use it is basically using a Complex Action to do it instead of attacking or whatever.

Is it possible that we're visiting the villagers and talking to them instead? Or does everyone in the village know how to to read? :shock:

Regarding the D6 event:
1. Anything in my favor for being Hero of the People?
2. Can I lie, using what would be equivalent to the Deceit Emphasis, for the Sincerity bit?
3. Do you want the rolls in the event itself, or in PFs?

Thank you!

1. Free Raise if it HotP for Blue Lotus village specifically.
2. No.
3. Event itself.

People who are VERY trusted by the villagers may do so and be there in person. So, those with HotP (BLV), people in relationships with them or staying in their houses, that kind of thing.

Ok, that makes more sense!

But since we're writing, how does various social benefits work on the Sincerity and Etiquette roll?

Will Seven Fortunes' Blessing (Benten) apply?
Or magic that enhances social rolls, like Benten's Touch? (Same goes for Crane tattoo that enhances social rolls)

Would Disturbing Countenance apply through a letter?

It does! the more villagers pouring their will into this event, the higher chance of Doji getting to wake up.
