[X] Plan Will it Blend?

I really want some archive time.

Although I would like to swap Sect jobs out for Sect duties, I'm curious about those.

Edit: I missed the tally by just 1 minute, damn.
 
Please threadmark the everything, with how many replies this thread is already getting without threadmark a this'll be a nightmare to go through for anyone new.
 
@yrsillar - is buying discounted GSS still a thing? Because that mechanic is super wonky; it is like a scholarship letting you buy discounted hundred-dollar bills. If you want the second to give us an allowance, it should just do that directly, IMO.

He will, there's just nothing from him that needs to be threadmarked outside the first page. Probably when he gets to finishing up the Relationship and Bound Spirit sheets or some time after that.
 
Why academics rather than intelligence tho ?

[X]Plan Will it Blend?
I copied it over while fusing the plans. There isn't really any other reason for me, beyond thinking that it would be useful and having it be closer than Intelligence is to leveling. And given the slowly building momentum I'm a bit wary of changing it.

I think it's close, but Int is kind of a dump stat now, and Academics might be important to actually be able to use the Archive better as the year goes on. Even if the roll is Int-Academics Academics will level much faster than Int for a while.

It's not a dump stat, Int still helps us in a lot of ways.

But yeah, Presence is something that's now pretty important to our build. Raising it is going to be important.

Realistically, we should be aiming at a C baseline, with A and S ranks in our core skills, and a smattering of Bs in major secondaries.

Switching to the blender plan, since I think we really should start checking out the archive.

I mean, it doesn't do passives, and we attack with Social stats, so it's basically our offensive dispels and skills and that's it. I'm not saying it's worth nothing but it's in the bottom tier of stats unless you really care about Formations. Once it's low enough relative to the rest of our character sheet it will be more worth effort because of diminishing returns elsewhere.

Academics may be less useful in the long run but it's a better decision for paranoia right now imo. In the short run it'll ease the use of the Archive which has been a touchy subject for a while with us.

Fair enough.

Intelligence is used for dispell and some spiritual attacks. The dispell still are pretty usefull even we should phase out the spiritual attacks using int.

With the only 2 AP per Attribute rule we're going to have a pretty big number of "secondaries". Or Core. honestly there's little difference between them since we're be constantly training 10 different attributes each turn...
 
You know, it's looking like the top leading plans are actually planning on working on qi outside of using pills. It's a miracle! For the first time, we will be working on qi, and it's after the system rework.
 
I didn't find it but how much do we get by AP attribute wise ?

If we put two AP in training stealth via missions , how much stealth would we gain ?

Here you go.

Attributes and skills gain experience based on use. Each cultivation type except meridians may advance different skills and attributes. Experience for these is determined by rolling a d6 for each slot assigned to the skill or attribute. With the exception of Qi, skills and attributes may not roll more than two dice per turn for advancement.
Basically, if we put two slots into stealth, we would gain anywhere from 2-12 successes in stealth.
