Fun-fact: In traditional Japanese age-counting, called kazoedoshi (数え年), a person is considered 1 year old at birth and adds a year to their age every New Year's day. It was still widely used in Japan in the 20s; though I'm not sure if holding any legal weight by that point, in this setting where politics and culture are a bit more old-fashioned than they should be, maybe it does...

At any rate, maybe Homura would only need to wait 1 year to be able to drink in front of Shizuka!

I was trying to figure that out as well. Family registries were sort of like the birth certificates, it's not fun going THAT much into the weeds. :P

I'm not seeing a medic among the base's NPCs. What's the usual handling of situations such as Claude's?

Oops, I must fill in that post with some more NPCs, noted.

Tough to be fair, she only got minor bruises, nothing too serious, the consequence will disappear on the next in-game day.

Eh? Claude didn't go in her starry pajamas? Not very épatagée of her, if you ask me~

What pajamas? But sure, I can shift the portrayal into a less presentable direction. Edited.

(No pajamas, noted) I was just jesting with you though!

Oh, new player! Welcome, glad we got a full crew. ^^

Welcome!

@Moyreau Are we running with 'she was there the whole time' in regards to Hana? I assume you gave the go-ahead for aiurjordan to insert themselves into the scene, so I wanted to be sure of the intent there.

I think she could have appeared a bit later during the battle, with the other girls not yet meeting her.

Okay, that'd make more sense.

Sounds good to me, we can do introductions, just imagine that she has arrived fashionably late to the battle, and an arrow from her petalframe strikes one of the shamon or whizzes by and everyone goes, wait what was that?!

That is my idea at least.

Also, Hello! Thank you for the warm welcome.

Ok, I decided to skip Tickettbror's action this turn and will start going through the posts and describing the results.

I need help understanding what happens with my resistance roll.

Hana's resistance - (d20)
(17) = 17

My roll was for Forest Warrior + Archery Breakout. I rolled 14 (I add my +10 for archery and my +16 for Forest Warrior right?) So i have a 30.

You said the Shamons resistance is 10M does this mean that you have to roll OVER 30 to hit them? (10 + M(20) = 30).

You roll under your rating for a success, and then if you have an "M" next to your rank you have 1 automatic success. So if your rank is 5M and you roll a 6, then you have 1 success. And if you roll the exact same as your rank you get 2 successes.

The enemies (or whatever you are rolling against) also roll for their side. Whichever side has more successes "wins", basically.

The resistance rolls in the last post were for the shamon resisting our attacks, I beleive.

I think you got it wrong. The rules are these: your score in an ability determines the target number, you need to roll equal or below your target number to gain a success. If you roll exactly your target number, you get 2 successes. If your score goes over 20, you go to 1M and so forth. A mastery (M) means a free extra success.in th

So if your keyword+breakout was rated at 26, I. e. 6M, you have a free success, and must roll 6 or under to get more.

In this case, you rolled 14, over your target number, you only get 1 succes from the mastery. The resistance also only got 1 success from the mastery.

Since you two got the same number of success, the winner of the contest is the highest roller, in this case, the shamons, so you got a 0 degrees of defeat outcome (which normally means you didn't achieve your goal, but got some benefit out of your try)

Once I get home I'll send the 1 page rules again in here. Also, I didn't yet finish my post because I had to go out, sorry.

Rules are found here.

This clears it up for me a bit, I was very confused by the Mastery part.
Thank you :)

Also im working on sketching a new version of my petalframe that is more in-line with the universe expectations dont worry!

@Handle

Did you want to maybe come up with some connection possibly between our characters since we share the Gozen lineage?
GM suggested it might be a cool idea, I'm happy to if you like the idea.

Oooh do you? You might have to make your character sheet public since it shows nothing right now.

I gave myself the Gozen name but didn't make it a noble family or anything. I can't see any of your backstory for Hana, but maybe the Takizawa side split off and they are cousins of some kind? Shizuka grew up in Tokyo, not sure where Hana was at but they still could have known visited each other or something.
