No, three rolls total all at a penalty
ah, but it does - so long as we're injured, we need more food to recuperate from a hungry status, meaning we're eating more for longer. at the same time, events become more likely with every passed day, so it gives a higher risk for compounding food issues (such as a farm collapse from a bad event during the mold cleanup, for example)
No, see were already injured so our food situation will look like so for the next few days if we don't use beetle charge
Ah, in that case the Qi Burst does seem better.
assuming that NOTHING goes wrong, you'd be right. But what if things go wrong? what if we find something else we "need" to use a beetle charge on, such as combat/an emergency? by the end of your estimate, we're near 100% certainly donna have some event happen, good or bad, so your plan would leave us 0 leeway to deal with the changing circumstances from that.
We could always gather more food, and the farm should proc by then to give us more food so well have another turn of buffer.
I'm not forgetting, I'm just not caring.
Hm. Assuming there are no critical failures (I'm not remembering that one way or the other) and that no matter how bad a roll is you get a minimum of 1, then d20-9 means any roll of 10 or below equals '1,' and all possible rolls of 11 or higher add up to 65. So the mean result of each individual die roll is 75/
It's kind of perverse, but in any situation where we have between 1 and 9 stockpiled food, being injured for more than one day when you were already going to be injured for at least one day isn't really a problem. As long as we heal up before the stockpiled ladybug-carcass food runs out, we're fine.
You're dividing by 10 and not by 20.
-_-
This is an excellent example of a way to get situational bonuses, yes. Though thinking about it, without knowing where the threshold is for dangerous qi deviations, I don't know whether it'd even be safe to use such a powerful 'boost' technique there.
That's a relief. I probably won't change my vote but at least I won't be irritated if it wins.
In all fairness, I'm pretty sure the technique can be upgraded. Because the only similar technique we have, Beetle Charge, explicitly can be. Even modest upgrades (to, say, 3x d20-5) rolls would make the technique very powerful; it has a lot of growth potential. Likewise, any situational scenario where we can be assured of having a significant net bonus on the die roll is very powerful in synergy with Triple Master because we get to apply the bonus three times.
