At this current vote we need to use "separate by block". so please edit the above to be like so
as currently your syntex causes a bit of a mess when making the tally

Except it explicitely say "Wings to carry our weight in the sky". It's accepting our roots but lifting them up.
Right, this makes sense.

This is not your typical xianxia
honestly so I do
... So to avoid action bloat you want to replace the action (FVM) that would take one roll and a throw away line with the tokens, that are most likely a more major action. Then you somehow manage to put a really involved process as breakthrough on the same level as personal training action... It really is to early in the morning for this...

@yrsillar so the breakthrough choice is separate from the weekly plan vote.
can you clarify if the stat gain choice is also separate as well?

I approve of switching, as much as SCS is the heavy weight when it comes to numbers, our entire combat style is based around FVM, and the latest jump was phenomenal.
I have no idea how others arrived at different conclusions, unless they didn't read the previous paragraphs.
Highly doubt it. That kind of thing would have a gigantic, flaming neon warning sign above it, "don't go Yellow before 30 Qi".
Yeah, that'd be foolish, we are in the best position so far for talking to her.People are talking (elsewhere) of replacing Gu Xiulan action with sun and moon token though, so I'm expecting someone to post such a vote
I wouldn't count on it.
However, I'd advise the people whom are excited about the wolf to read carefully: First, it's a level 2 beastie, well out of our league for now. Second, it's an Ice spirit. Not a Wind or Darkness one. Less the mystical wolf that's associated with the moon and more the one that's associated with implacable winter.
But seriously, I'm of the opinion we should sink like 100+ stones on a super bow next turn or the one after at the most. Our "Possible unique ability" from CharGen seems to obviously be focused on Wind, which lends itself to projectiles.
Also, we should have about as much Qi as Bai Meizhen, Cai Renxiang and Sun Liling.
Holy shit son.
As soon as we get Silver, we will be able to walk around the same playground they do. Tier differences in cultivation are crushing, but a bit of luck can overcome small stage differences.
Not that we would be as strong, far from it, but the jump from 6 auto sux to 1~2 is enormous.

No, it's completely and utterly logical. If you'd read the author correctly he was specifically limiting us to 5 social actions, with all the new additional actions being personal training actions.
Is breakthrough a social action? No. Is it an action where Ling Qi personally trains herself? Yes.
Do you actually need author clarification on such basic language?

Yea, ice spirit is completely and utterly unsuited for us.
We need a dark, wind, water, sonic... or better yet all of them.
Like... an aquatic owl-bat
We're going around in circles in this point.
I'll try to make this as simple as possible, because it's 3:30 AM and I am beyond tired and sick and not very eloquent even on my best days.
Roots=/= friends. Guilt and desires for power and so on are not friends. The requirements of street life are not friends.
Roots = earthly concerns.
If lifting roots was the same as "elevating" or "empowering" them, you'd also be metaphorically increasing your earthly concerns. Concerns that are explicitly weighing you down.
Do you see how this makes the metaphor fall apart?. It's like saying your going to be strong enough to shoulder your responsibilities so you can make your responsibilities weigh more.

@yrsillar, a couple questions. First, our charsheet has our base Qi at 16 when it should be 24. Second, the +1 to stealth from our Darkness mastery, is it 'beyond' our stealth ability in mundane skill (so 3+1) or is it +1 to mundane skill, so is included in our cap of 6.
Yes, yes it is.

"DUNGEON MASTER! Where in this town can I buy an aquatic owl-bat!"
... No really not worth it dont really have the energy for people like you right now... go and do whatever you want.Ling Qi also have 2 Yellow Spirit Stones, use one?

Wolf is still moon based and a pack hunter, and Ice, in many setting, is Wind+Water.
Argent Vent gives Yellow Stone.
Honestly, once we get to Silver I think we should do one quest a turn unless we are going full on drug. The quests seems a lot of fun, and they probably push us into 'event time'.
Main issue seems to be we lack ability to investigate things well so far... We need that wind head meridian sensory art
I think also hunting with Su Ling should help us a lot in learning the necessary skills.
People like me - You're resorting to that? Fine.
@yrsillar - does breakthrough count as one of the five social actions that you were limiting us too? On another matter, does the Argent Soul Mastery 1.5 bonus apply to the automatic successes from the Argent Vent?

Not even Water, but just straight up Cold and Ice. Rimefur Wolf.
I wouldn't jump on the first spirit we find to bind. First time is special after all.
... Are you saying that the "provides one stone" ability of the vent would provide one yellow stone worth's if we are able to use those?

I am pretty sure secluding yourself in a cave to perform a cultivation breakthrough is a cultivation action not a social action
What do you mean they don't have one! This is so unfair! Bai gets a snake and Han Jihan gets a tiger, but I can't get an aquatic owl-bat?

The problem being that the wings of freedom and our roots are depicted as being opposing factors. Which is why I compared freedom to the zen Buddhist sense of the word.

Yes:
Don't say that
Yes, and 'Wings strong enough to carry her weight' means "getting both".
EDIT: Not true, they are all 'both' in their own ways.

We should at least confirm if it is the case here, though.
And given a Moon goddess is interested in us, I would prefer us to try and get a Moon spirit.
@yrsillar
Can we do the "Moon fill" mission next week?

On the other pseudopod. QM's argument was that he wanted to avoid writing too many things a turn and a "cultivate alone" action is just a simple dice roll with no writeup
While breakthrough actions are huge writeups

Imma ask my biologist friend if there is any nocturnal predator that hunts both alone and in a pack.
