Both classes are definitely shaping up to be interesting in their own ways!

Also, I think I'll keep rolling for myself.

I like rolling myself, it adds a personal touch and a good chance to RP

Alright guys, I respect your choice. As for BlondeDragonGenie: if you want we can do it like that: when the roll is successful, we roll with it, when it's a failure, I wait for your decision.

By the way, when you're casting cantrips (and not using your Magic ability for gaining abilities), you roll just your magic ability, not the smart one. In this case, there's not problem though.

Hey Eltesla
Hanami just might be the one to put Mizore firmly in the 'for' camp...

Alright, I'll keep that in mind.

Casting cantrips? I'm not sure I understand what Cantrips are. It looks suspiciously like some sort of Attack with no wounding, but it looks different from how I understood Attacks to work in this system. Could others elaborate and help me understand?

Also, I'm fine with rolling on my behalf when it saves time, but too am concerned about someone's needing to spend Endurance.

Also, does Lín Jìng see Aono and/or the admirer who snatched the tie in the lunch area?

I'd say cantrips are some minor magical effect you're trying to accomplish, which doesn't necessarily have to be combat-related, but you do have a point about Hanami's zap just being an Attack with no wounding. I could've built it like this:

Zap (Affinity: Magical, Ranged +0, Unique Perk: Add Arcane Magic to Attack Roll +10, Stunning +10, No Damage -20)

For Hanami, this would have a Roll of 5 (base 2d6 plus her Arcane Magic dice), a DX of 1 (base damage; not that it matters with No Damage applied), and an Endurance cost of 0. It essentially accomplishes the same thing I'm trying to do now.

Ok, If you were treat it as an attack, you would need to emulate the attack ability with Arcane Magic, and then use this to attack, the same way you would cast flight and then use your flight (by the way, limited uses/ammunition works great for simulating a spell you cast once, like an attack, giving a nice Endurance discount).

That being said, if the purpose of your cantrip is to be harmless, only inflicting "gag damage", you can just rolls using your Magic ability, no endurance cost and no need to roll the NPCs defense (as a player may want to). Of course, this is only licit when gag damage is appropriate for the scene.

Gotcha. Is it because I don't have Attack? I had just assumed I have it at +0 even if I didn't take any levels in it.

Ah, I see. Understood.

Oh, well, you can use an attack of 0, but that would be like, really feeble. And then the Combat expert+agile abilities would be needed, or just casting it with some levels in the accurate perk (same effect), would be desirable.

I did build my character with support in mind, so she's not good on her own when it comes to offense. She's meant to prop up the stronger characters in a fight, but maybe she could learn to become stronger as time goes on.

Ibuki purposefully did not say her full name in her introduction, is it correct that chief says Doji regardless of that?

@Eltesla Hanami didn’t notice me escape right? I know she couldn’t have based on the roll but was just unclear from your post

No, she didn't. I left it like that so I could have a follow-up if she did notice.

Hey sorry, I forgot that detail. Please desconsider whenever I did that. Besides the faculty though, they would know.
