No, I was making the point that a hundred explosion seals going off wouldn't be a hundred TN 40 checks any more than a hundred Gamma Ray seals going off would be a hundred TN 40 checks. See: Konan.
Oh, my bad then. Yeah, the logic's sound, the mechanics serve the narrative and the QMs have made statements to that effect before, how X low-level threat stops being a low-level threat if you have enough of them.
It makes sense to model physique checks like that, though. If it's too weak to penetrate (which gamma rays wouldn't be lmao) than you just withstand a million pinpricks no problem.
That's situational, though. It's not a safe assumption for all, or most, physique checks.
Okay, finalized plan. Now coming in below 299 words. @Zampano special shout-out for the help with this.
Can we add a note like "making sure to err on the side of caution until hazou has a good sense of the difficulty"?
Hazoupilot is more cautious than I am
Can I get some votes for this in the next hour?
That's not right. The QMs have not discussed it and made a ruling, I simply gave ponwog saying that player arguments had convinced me that maybe a physique roll was not the way to model gamma radiation.
I feel compelled to say, the one clear memory I have of a QM explaining what prep days entail describes Hazou actually carefully tracking astrological influences. I've spent the last few years carefully not asking the question of whether mfd horoscopes are real.
Hazō should become an astrology guy. Can we get an aspect for that?
Solar/lunar eclipses and especially the planets are incredibly important to astrology.
John Dee also produced various maps for maritime navigation (also based on the stars) as part of his royal position but he was unusually good at drawing maps, from what I understand.
Hazō has heard of no update on the project.
Hazō has never heard of such a thing, although it should be noted that the EN is small (so eclipses would be rare) and record keeping is atrocious.
Yes, there are other planets known to the Elemental Nations, and there is only one moon in the sky. If you can explain why the number and names of planets are relevant to the gameplay, we can provide you with count/names.
And you argued that there's no way the players would need to know the astronomy of the solar system when originally worldbuilding (to my recollection)!
Hazou thinks these seals do not do any sort of filtering or separation of different chakra types (if indeed these chakra types exist).
Let us throw the question back: which types of mines are historically plausible to have existed in 12th century Japan?
Technically, Leaf surrendered it (and surrounding lands) to Rain as weregild, who in turn traded it to River in exchange for less border-gorey borders. Note that Hazō originally bought the mine to be a bolt-hole for the family, and thus he never officially notified the Tower of his ownership. Had he done so then maybe it would have been different but as things are, Mari suggests it's best to let sleeping dogs lie.
