Given that it's been roughly ~a day IC, can we assume that all of our party members and Noburi are at full chakra?

I've lost track; did any/all of these end up being answered?

Good question. Chakra Scalpels + Vampiric Dew, much the way you would buy "thing + element" for other combo stunts like Rocket Octopus. (See [url="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JdE1lGoRnzj4HIuzlYdDq18FTYZ5s-Qxa1Mt0NR_cQM/edit#heading=h.rkocjhtcpd2w"]docs[/URL] for details.)
Yes, everyone is at full chakra. The rest of the team because they regenerated naturally and Noburi because he hasn't actually spent much lately and whatever he did spend we can handwave away saying that he got it back from draining the creatures in the cave, or by taking sips from the team. (i.e., we don't want to do the exact bookkeeping and this seems about right)

Vampiric Dew, not Water?

Correct. The Vampiric Dew Bloodline Limit is not the same thing as the Water Element, and skill in using Vampiric Dew powers does not result in skill using Water Element ninjutsu, or vice versa.

I pity the poor Wakahisa children born with different elements. I guess they only ever get deployed when it's raining?

So, uh, is the half-cost XP investment going to be a thing of the past?
VD is half-costed under Water Ninjutsu so there is some skill transfer, not that I necessarily think this isn't the correct ruling. I agree that Water Ninjutsu and the VD seem different enough that they shouldn't benefit from the same buff slot
Can I suggest that we don't spend too much time hunting down the chakravores? They may simply have fled after encountering something that insta-killed one of them when they tried to drain it, in which case hunting too aggressively might expose us to more risk than just leaving them alone. Maybe add "If the chakravores seem no longer to be in the area, [something]".
Actually, speaking of:
Pinging also @eaglejarl @Paperclipped : was the statue there? You said we didn't run into anything, so I assume not, but if it's not there that suggests the other chakravores took it with them, which would be ... interesting data.
I had the impression that all Wakahisa were born with Water Element? Even if not, though, it's only 1000XP to learn a new element and you get half that back in ninjutsu; they probably just do less dangerous missions for a year or so while they learn Water.

The design team did not manage to design a version with detachable/telescoping wings that did not frequently experience unintended lithobraking behavior, so skysliders cannot be stored. Also, the main spinal components are too long to go in a storage scroll.
Good idea, thanks for the suggestions.
Still not ready yet, sorry.
(Also, ponwog90: This isn't a super high priority for us as there's a lot of other stuff that's going to have more impact on the story and has a shorter time horizon.)
This is to leave open the option of scene Aspects causing a buff that is particular to the situation. The reason why most Aspects are ruled out is because the Aspects the players are interested in are ones that they can always have available (i.e. generated by jutsu/seals/etc). You are correct that wound Aspects are usable.
I believe this was already answered but let me know if not and we'll get back to you.
Could you link that, please? Brain is cheese
.
I'm checking all the 'todo' threadmarks we have and clearing them out where possible. I believe this was all dealt with? I see audit awards on Hazō's sheet, at least.
Done. Thanks for collecting all of it.
Okay, there's a ton more stuff in QM QUINOA but a lot of it still needs to be signed off. Also, this post is stupidly long, to the point where I have spoilered it so as not to make mobile users tear their hair out scrolling.

Average ninja get 2 XP/day baseline and at least 2 stagnancy barriers take effect if you want to save up 1,000 XP. The first one affects the second 500 XP needed. 2-3 years is a reasonable estimate. 'Just do less dangerous missions than your peers for 2-3 years' doesn't match up with ninja in general.
It was also my impression that the Wakahisa Clan are all born with Water Element

Just checking up to see if this question is still under discussion! Thanks.

Ah - I had 2.5 XP/day in my head as the average rate and had forgotten about stagnancy. In that case, yeah, a Wakahisa without Water Element might have problems. Still, Sir Stompy shared my impression that all Wakahisa have Water Element natively, so probably not too relevant.
While not directly a feature of the bloodline, this quickly evolved to be the case, as fire-element Wakahisa don't live long enough to have children, and the clan is very careful to avoid outside marriages with Mist's rare non-naitivly-water ninja.

Looks like it was missed, so thanks for re-pinging. It's in the QUINOA chat channel and we'll get back to you, probably soonish. My proposed anser is "Wakahisa jōnin exist and are normal as compared to other jōnin with regard to aura abilities." I will be surprised if that isn't accepted.
Does this matter? I (unsurprisingly) don't remember if we've ruled either way, but what is the relevance?

Thank you so much!!
Innnnnnteresting PONWOG answer, too. I was worried that his internal chakra reserves would be too small to support an aura. Now I just have to wait for Kei, Hazō, or Noburi to get the rest of the way there and learn the mechanics!
EDIT: [checks Noburi's XP total]
Yeah, nevermind. We'll get the mechanics from Hazō or Kei long before we would from Noburi.
He's currently below 13,000 XP!

Noburi and Yuno family planning, as far as immediate in-universe things go. Iirc, Yuno is Lightning and Noburi has already voiced concerns in an update. The answer to most relevant things is probably HDK, but what little he does know would be relevant to inform any IC investigations.

Huh, was this about Chakra Disruption Blast?
EDIT: @eaglejarl @Velorien @Paperclipped
Did Noburi pick up anything in his time with Tsuande that suggests he might be able to eventually use his capstone medical stats (Medical Ninjutsu, Medical Knowledge) in combat?
(Also, quite interesting how similar CDB is to my proposed stunt!)

If Wakahisa are not all born with Water Element, the ones who aren't pretty much have to learn it or else be unable to use most of the cool tricks their bloodline offers. This raises interesting questions about what training tracks non-Water Wakahisa genin would take; do they all learn Water as quickly as possible? Do they basically act as chakra batteries for other ninja (as is the Wakahisa stereotype) while they do that? Do they focus on other things instead (e.g. Ranged Weapons) and use their bloodline purely as support while not needing much chakra themselves, perhaps barely levelling VD at all? It has implications for what the population of adult Wakahisa is like, in the end, because if you focus on something as a genin you're likely to continue focusing on that later because you've already invested in it.
