No, because PS uses its own AB without the Sealing/3 bonus. PS 26 is AB 3. We have 75 Sealing (51 + 24 SSA), giving us +25. This is the short term goal because at that point we arrive at Eff. PS 51, or our current Base Sealing level which the bonus cannot take us beyond. With AB 3 this means Prep 57 as in the quote.
...In which case 26 is AB 3.
Ah, I see, I typo'd AB 4 in the post you quoted (but used the correct Eff. 57 number with prep).. Thanks, fixed.
Note that its 281 XP away atm, or ~24 days, and at that time we'll still have the Severe, which is -2 AB. I'd avoid voting in a plan that raises PS 19 -> 20, since PS 20 is AB 3, being 1 point higher in level but 2 points higher in the penalty. So we most likely want to go 19 -> 22+ directly as thats where the net gain begins. But at PS 19 we'd be rolling at Eff. 40 or Prep 44, which is much safer than right now, yeah.
I don't really understand your meaning here. For starters, difficulty checking with prep requires no FP, which is largely what's being suggested. But otherwise, runes don't need more FP to reroll. In this specific case they might even need less because the "calligraphy" skill here is disproportionately larger, whereas with our paper sealing we may need to reroll sealing or calligraphy. And invokes are worth so little with the AB we have for PS that I don't think we SHOULD use FP on it, it's practically a waste.
'Cause we can't rely on invoking to do a lot so we have to reroll any time we roll low rather than relying on the standard-invoke +8.
Can you explain to me how the rune would require that many FP? I don't see how this is possible outside of some once-in-century bad rolls.
I don't see any issue with rerolling the PS roll, for aforementioned reasons - namely, I doubt we'd need to reroll even on a -12 for Earthshaping.
The expected value of rerolling a +0 is about 1 FP
I'm sitting here realizing I mathed pretty badly, mainly, I missed that Sasori gets a max of 16 prep, not 8. Woops. Full prep with all of that the same gets them to 132 over our roll of 131, without any fate dice. Agh frigging s rankera
You may have missed this post.
So prep doesn't matter here so much as raw skill. We'd likely be able to beat him here if we weren't injured because we could invoke once or twice, possibly time-ladder and get Mari to assist.
We haven't yet set the design principles for rune mechanics.
I don't think we can do that... our Shadow Clones aren't cognitively independent the way that Kei's are, so I suspect that they'd be doing the same math/Sealing/science/research that Hazou Prime is, just on a separate sheet of paper.
Raises hand!
So in true Naruto fashion, we just need to try harder, yelling, and wearing
Ah, so we should have Kei learn the jonin seal and teach it to us. Good point
Don't know that cognitive independence has anything to do with it, more just that if sealing research is performed sequentially you can't get ahead without the previous step completed so there's no way for SC to be researching different things at the same time.
It would not be about speed then, but about being able to research the new Seal safely at all and that is not marginal utility. I suspect we might do some of that kind of thing once we cap out our effective PS stat in the next few months, since we will have like a year or so during which we won't be raising it at all and will need to come up with ways to research harder stuff.
12 XP/day seems optimistic. How are you calculating that?
We have most of one data point about how drag works. The first rune got buried after brief observation that didn't mention Hazo checking the rune's tilt, and the second rune was immediately activated. We don't (yet) have enough information to figure out what they're remaining stationary in respect to, but I do at least want to note that they're moving along with the revolution of the planet (assuming we've confirmed that a planet exists) since they didn't immediately vanish into a random point of outer space (also assuming that exists here). Which is to say that I agree we could experiment with it but I don't think we've actually confirmed diddly about the details of how drag works, including whether or not runes are observed to tilt.
Might not have been mentioned. Would be surprised if it was not noticed. They observed it for hours - resting on the surface it was infused on - and dug the hole it was slowly falling in deeper more than once. If the planet rotates, the chakrasphere has to rotate with it or chakrascopes would not work. Or they would have to measure chakra residue attached to matter? And if other runes are assumed to have drag, the Great Rune does not tilt. Skyslicers do not fly off in the 7th Path, which could mean the 7th Path is perfectly still or they also rotate with revolution of the 7th Path.
HOWS already do that?
Rune could be scarier, but an on-off function mitigates most danger.
