Re: GM Questions
Is the 3rd roll (Finding Your Way) for the EE event meant to be Hunting-keep-Investigation? As in using Investigation skill like a trait? Or is it saying you use either skill with Perception?

Re: GM Questions
Rereading Lucid Dreaming...
As written, it could be interpreted as only affecting the ring itself and ring related values (like Spellcasting, or Wounds if Earth is chosen), similar to how Chosen by the Oracles doesn't impact traits.
People have been using it as a walking +1k1 as far as mechanics are concerned, and my own impression is that this is supposed to be the intent. But don't hurt to check.

Complex Action, lasts 2 turn, effects of raising rings don't stack. You can have like Fire 3 instead of 2 for two turns, then you need to turn it on again. It will not raise your Fire above 3 even if someone else does it to you.Kaijarisuigyo wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2023 4:51 amOkay, one more question:

It was partially about that, but also more of what happens when you succeed? Is it an Irish Goodbye where you just slink out of your own accord without going through the later event?

Gotcha. So, is this a required event for our joint success then? I'm trying to parse the stakes and drives behind things.

Re: GM Questions
Not a big deal, but figured worth asking! Sorry!
https://dayofthunder.fallenash.com/view ... 373#p18373
EDIT: While at that!
For Surprise Planning - I have at least two ideas involving spells going on, possibly three. So a few questions:
1) If I cast Quiescence of Air centered on the Harbinger (assuming she's within 50 feet), or maybe centered on myself (assuming everyone can stay within a 30 feet radius), could that help the other PCs with their Stealth rolls, granting the 2 Raises mentioned in the spell?
2) Could an Illusion spell like Mists of Illusion (creating something like a wall covering the side the Thunders are at) or Way of Deception (placing an image of TS right in front of the harbonger) be used for Roll 3? If so, how would that work? Otherwise there's another idea I've been toying with...
3) Is there a limit to the number of spells one could cast during step 1? Only 1? 2? Something else?
Thanks!

For Surprise Party Investigation is it a roll with multiple attempts across us if there's a failure or is it a one and done and a failure means no surprise round?

Re: GM Questions
Actually I guess the same question is valid for roll 3. If the first one to attempt something fails, can someone else step in and try? Or is it one and done, with failure meaning the Harbinger will keep their attention on the Thunders as well?

Re: GM Questions
It's not strictly required. You could get through anywhere once the barrier drops entirely, but this will be the easiest and fastest way. More people will get hurt in other areas.

2: No. IIRC you're trying to get her attention to the area in roll three.
3: one spell may be cast for each roll in part 1 if you want.

If one person fails to find a good spot, another person can try. You just need to succeed once for someone to find something.

Re: GM Questions
Thanks for the answers!
On this one - yup, the idea is drawing her attention to us instead of the Thunders. To clarify: the idea with the illusions would be to either 'prevent her from seeing the Thunders', so she looks elsewhere (and therefore to us), or 'placing a TS Illusion right in front of her' to call her attention.
If that still wouldn't do it, then all fine!
