VELORIEN: I'm afraid that would count as meta--If you work out how to level that, be sure to share with Hazou.

Sadly @Sir Stompy has a fire element unlike Hazō so we need to spend the 1000 XP to learn it from himIf you work out how to level that, be sure to share with Hazou.
My browser did not immediately load the second picture so I was like "Ah, he dies immediately, that makes sense."
However, the THing Mechanics have no real clause for veterancy
Is the rest of the question still valid?Veterancy works the same, so experience with related research helps.
No, it's been answered, sorry about that! 😅
I'm okay with this. It also makes seal research more resource intensive (and thus, more dangerous), which better fits within the narrative worldbuilding of Marked for Death. I especially like how the bonus is applied only if you immediately pursue the research. It reflects the real-world nature of "I've spent some time thinking on it, and I have some creative insights that might fade from my memory if I don't pursue this, immediately."Doing a difficulty check is no longer a regular prep day. Instead, it represents a significant effort at getting everything ready and all basic details handled in advance – the equivalent of laying all the ingredients measured and carefully arranged on the counter before starting to bake. This requires spending 1 FP. If you immediately continue into the research then that FP becomes an Invoke and you get the benefit of 2 prep days for the one difficulty-check day, meaning +2 on the Sealing/Primordial Sealing and Calligraphy/Earthshaping rolls. (This extra day does count against the total prep days you can do, so you aren't getting a larger overall bonus, you are simply moving through the research faster.)
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つIn order to save our sanity and investment in the quest, we're going to make a change to the mechanics.
Honestly, I think this is more of a feature than a bug. We've already done difficulty checks for a bunch of dangerous runes that, together, should be able to take out the Akatsuki. I think it's better that we actively pursue these, rather than continuing to throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.But it'll also produce more "research chains", so if that was a goal then this is a success...
This. Personally I am fine with a nerf to it 🗿Can't say I've been a fan of the prep day gatcha strats, so this change seems good to me for a variety of reasons beyond stopping them from becoming a massive spoon drain.
Pinging also @Velorien @PaperclippedDoing a difficulty check is no longer a regular prep day.

Yeah, it means we can still try shot-in-the-dark rune ideas, aborting if they're not in a category we can handle, but it'd be wasteful to do that any more than we have to. Instead there's more comparative value in the stuff we have reason to believe will indeed be within our capabilities, like research chains or replicating other known chakra effects, etc.The actual effect of this is going to be significantly more cautious players moving more slowly with research.
But it'll also produce more "research chains", so if that was a goal then this is a success...
Ah man!Prep Great Seal.
Hazō (Primordial Sealing): 31 + 18 (crossover bonus from unboosted Sealing) + 6 = 55
Result: [TBD]
Assuming you mean "redoing difficulty checks under the old 'well-within'/'maybe'/'beyond' system", yes.Does this affect redoing difficulty checks we've already done?
No, you'll still get all those for free once they're ready.Does this affect prep days voted in previous to this rules change but still pending results?
It can be any Sealing-related Aspect that is invoked, but we would default to OTSG unless you found another one for a given project.Does this count as an Invoke of "Out-Touched Sealing Genius", or is it a different Aspect (ie, can we also invoke OTSG)?
Yes.EDIT: I assume we'd also get the difficulty tier after a research roll?
