Why does this sound prophetic?

Kong Zhi: "Your beauty will annihilate all adversaries. I am your professional simp"
Jai Fa: "WTF?!"
APR is very fancy and flashy, but trash tier when it comes to actually getting the job done. That sounds like the opposite of good, elegant charm crafting. All flash, no substance.
It has not! And indeed, from a dice standpoint, APR is not the most impressive charm before you. But it does have its strong points that none of the others do. So keep that in mind.
Core is dictated by our sats. The only thing we've found so far that upgraded our stats was taking a step. We're quite a ways from Farmer. This will be a long time.Now it won't. The core size can be altered by training and upgrades.
Speculating on Kong Zhi completing the quest at Cycling 7 is equally illogical.Speculating on Kong Zhi completing the quest at 18 core is just not logical, as that stat has actually increased in quest.
I know what you were suggesting.I thought me posting about a stack of items, which currently fail to exist yet, besides the Box to charge indicated that I was floating an idea ahead of time. The Box is currently charged after all. Also, its shown no indications of needing a full charge in one go. Also its a sometimes a charm, so its useful if not mandatory to equip.
Narratively, we know that being at low core is exhausting. Does this have a mechanical effect? who knows, probably not.Frankly, I was more more pointing out how much anam gets 'wasted' during every crafting binge. I don't think its happened that Kong Zhi wasn't at full core while crafting. I've seen no indication that being at full core helps with that step... at all.
For now, actions are far more valuable than ~6 anam that gets wasted.So I suggested 'spending' future anam to take advantage of the 'down time'. If it helps imagine a theoretical 500 anam to charge item and how it would require multiple sessions to charge.
We decide the actions we take each week, but not the order we do them in. voting a "dump 6 anam from core into charm" action might happen before the 3x craft actions, might happen after. Also - while each 'turn' takes a week of time, actions do not take a specific number of days or hours to complete, it's whatever makes narrative sense. One week, 3 craft actions might take 5 days, another week, they might take 1, it depends on what else is going on that week. We don't have the necessary granular control to 'game' this.Speaking of which, I am in fact aware it would take multiple sessions to charge the box that way... that is why I mentioned partial charging and spending the anam that would be regenerated during a crafting binge on such an act. I also mentioned doing it when local natural wonders and the bank account are low is a valid action. You seem to have decided that I was calling for this to happen next turn... even though allowance just came in and Zhi owes his champion a charm... so probable shopping trip and possible crafting skill training to budget for. Depends on the charm ordered.
The hat of clue-catching is probably a good idea. One day our empathy-5 character will pass a sense motive check. maybe.Just want to point out at least one quester seems to have missed (or forgotten) that stat training is a thing you can spend actions on... as well as skill training social skills. Though I can also see crafting a helmet/hat charm that detects failed social checks is more likely with how things are going... I can just imagine the reaction to attempting to craft such a thing would be from your dorm mates.
The reason we want to keep a full-core is because of the possibility of an ambush by people holding empty bags they hope to fill with money or charms.I can only conclude your doing that 'skimming' thing with my posts as you seem to have entirely missed me mentioning potential clients ambushing Kong Zhi on a field trip armed with bags of money as Zhi is so hard to get a hold of.
Yeah, it has its points. But does being neat justifies bringing it to a duel when it's so weak?
I don't think it does. If it were Grade 2 I'd consider it because it's versatile, but at Grade 1 is painfully weak.
It has the virtue of being both archer and defender, but when it's so bad at being either, then is that really that much of a strenght?

What are you talking about?I'm kinda surprised a Moment's Respite counts as a charm we can use. We didn't exactly create it on our own after all. Just finished off a prepared foundation.

I don't see how carving rings out of an enormous chunk of horn is finishing off a prepared foundation.
I think you are severely underestimating how the results of the battle should influence the final ruling.
APR is something of a tragedy, in that it's almost awesome. If it were G2, it'd be just enough to match a technique with the same amount of dice that's G3, or with half again as many dice, as long as it could achieve type advantage. Which, for a dual type charm, shouldn't be hard. That'd be pretty elegant, using versatility to leverage a weak charm into being relevant for months at the sect.
But even with type advantage, 18d10s9 simply doesn't even match the humblest Grade 2 tech at 10 dice.
It can't match the lowest tier of any decent technique or charm, even when operating at peak efficiency, I.e. with type advantage.
So a proper Defender or Archer charm with even less dice, but without a gimmick can beat it even at a type disadvantage.
That's a tad too sad, to say nothing of overburdening Fa with charms, a concern she raises herself.
