Re: GM Questions
From a purely practical point of view sempai, the smart guys are talking at EE, and we're doing math (badly) in your room at LE. At best, we'll learn about the jade thing at nightfall.
Do we really want to start a tradition of Imperial dragging people out of their beds to take their shiny green rocks?

Do we WANT to?
Yes.
But SHOULD we?
No.
'Sides, since neither Imp has used a Low Skill on the Seidou, we might be able to make them an offer...

... Incidentally, this setting's coinage system is going to be base 10 when it gets set up so it is slightly more sane. -__-
The Emperor set up this whole thing, so, as happens when people are in power, you get the blame. XD

Re: GM Questions
Crafting arrows, if they are using metal tips, takes 1 day per arrow. This seems a bit silly and I was wondering if instead if gives a number of arrows?

Re: GM Questions
You won't be making them using metal tips except in one place. Maybe stone or bone or something elsewhere.Seidou Satone wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 6:13 pmCrafting arrows, if they are using metal tips, takes 1 day per arrow.

You can make 5 at once, counting the time to craft the arrowheads.

Does this require Herbalism emphasis, or since one is collecting the ingredients (as opposed to actively treating wounds) is it just a Med roll where herbalism would apply?
