GM Questions

[Dapper Dog]

Day 9 Operations start in the EN and go through MN.

Assuming you deliver you will get paid by MN. 15000 divided however the players decide.

[Djanik]

So I'd have payment (I don't know how much) at end of Day 8?

And then the attack goes off day 9 EN?

[Dapper Dog]

Yep, I am assuming you will split it 5 ways for 3k each but you guys decide.

[Bowze Coppa]

Can I roll warfare to help with the battle plan or do I simply assist Yusandr?

[Dapper Dog]

You assist her I think is easiest.

[Bowze Coppa]

You assist her I think is easiest.

Can I flip a destiny to give valuable insight?

[Dapper Dog]

It's probably going to be wasted as people forget hanging bonuses. Let's just leave it alone, you will be fine.

[Djanik]

Yeah, we have a horrid tendency to forget our bonuses when they are listed 1 post up in a thread, much less globally.

[Petrus Karath]

Heavy rain adds a setback die to all checks in this thread. Destiny used for the first 15 players.

Is there environmental gear that can offset that setback? Thermal cloak, maybe?

Sure.

[Dove Gray]

Will Suspicion apply in the Events?

We're not really hiding what we're doing anymore at this point...?

[Dapper Dog]

Wait and See.

[Vaya Mer'darrow]

I don't think I've been in a proper Event since I had it, so I don't think I've asked yet how Improved Researcher works:

Researcher (Improved) When the character makes a successful Knowledge check to gain information, he and his allies gain an automatic advantages on checks equal to his ranks in Researcher to checks they make to act on those facts until the end of her next turn.

So assuming I used Knowledge (in an event where it's appropriate), who gets 2 bonus advantages? Everyone, no-one, the next X people (3-5 would be the average party of PCs), only those who can justify their roll as "acting on" the facts I'm coming up with?

Thinking about both the open Battle for Bankor and the two Heists.

[Dapper Dog]

Next person. Also Triumphs don't hang anymore they go to the next person that rolls.

[Ru'ni Wayne]

Heavy rain adds a setback die to all checks in this thread. Destiny used for the first 15 players.

Can we apply this to any roll? (ie can front line apply this to the resilience check?)

[Dapper Dog]

Your choice on the Destiny.

[Bowze Coppa]

Can ready for anything (talent that negates setback for mass combat checks) be used for the Battle of Bankor thread if Bowze uses Knowledge (warfare)as his skill?

Sure.

[Jenna Karath]

As to not assume:

Bypass Security [Thief A4]
-Remove Setback per rank to disable Security or open a locked door.

In the book it merely labels it as is written above. Styling the roll appropriately, may this be used in the Battle for Bankor thread to negate the setback imposed by the surrounding battle?

[Bowze Coppa]

A wild question: could Knowledge (warfare) be considered a combat check if for some reason Bowze decides to lead from the front?

[Dapper Dog]

No.

[Xanna Teevou]

For The Darkest Hour, are Escape points cumulative or do they reset to zero each time you gather enough to move on?

[Dapper Dog]

Reset to 0.

[Jurdak Surt]

In battle of bankor and in heist threads do equipment bonuses count?
