Questions go here

Less of a question and more pointing out that I accidentally put the wrong TN in the description, but passed the real TN. I'm totally willing to take it as a fail for being dumb.

With magic allowed, what benefit, if any, would Nature's Touch offer? For reference, that's the 'you can talk to the animal and they will understand you' one.

Duration is keeping full and undivided attention on the animal while continuing to speak to it, which seems like it would cover the event, (possibly requiring recasting after skill checks?)

In the event of a tiebreaker, is it the total rolled on step 2, or total number of raises called/used?

Total rolled.

While it won't help you to pick an animal or get on one - animal being able to understand you helps little when you try to be fancy, it does help you staying ON the animal, giving you a Free Raise on the last roll.

Is the Athletics roll to climb on the Otori one that can be enhanced by the Limb Fleshcraft (Left Arm) Advantage?

I mean, unless you plant to keep your hands behind your back as you climb, yes.

Does a character need to roll for Overconfident if they fail the "This is safe, right?" step of the Ikebana event and wish to use gloves?

That would make a lot of sense.

Wasn't Horsemanship changed into Driving for the Ponies and in general?

Pretty sure they're distinct skills as half the Unicorn schools can choose one or the other as their school skill.

Do the free raises still count even if you're unskilled in the event?

From Core Rules:


Probably deserved to be sticked on the forum somewhere more visible as you're not the first to ask, and this won't be the last unskilled roll with free raises hanging around.

This is perhaps a lighter question. With the mount, as it is suggested to spend another time-slot with the mount getting it more accustomed to the rider.

Is that something that should be handled in the subsequent time-slot, to achieve the effect suggested, or is it alright to simply revisit it later and instill that bond?

Basically this. But also this ruling that was made before character submissions.

It's just there to encourage you to rp with your new mount with your fellow participants.

Beginning to think I wayyyyyyyyy overspecialised my skills. Does Lore:Xenobotany work in the XenoIkebana event?


Or should xenobotany just be an emphasis of biology?

I think it should work. I didn't think anyone would overspecialize THAT hard.

Does Reversal of the fortunes can be applied to all the rolls in the event thread?
