Rejected Proposals for resolution of the succession crisis:
1) Rock/Paper/Scissors: Keihime kept calling, 'Gun'
2) Name drawn from the Emerald kabuto: Hajime was convinced Tooru was going to put dye into it.
3) Monk Toss, points for distance and style.: Proposed by Lady Matsu, Rejected by the Crane
4) Otomo Tooru is thinking of a number between 1 and 10: Rejected because even when she wasn't playing, Keihime got the number.

Re: OOC Chat 1
I feel in the rare opportunities you have a Perception of 3+, you should always just take both hunting and investigation. Alas, my past self didn't have that foresight!
Good hunting, hunters!

Re: OOC Chat 1
Sadly, Hunting tends to just be a much worst option then Investigation. It's more survival-based things that never come up in a game and the ability to track animals, which also tend to never comes up in games. The later part might have some impact on an investigation. but at the same time, you can most likely track with investigation at a slightly higher tn.Kuni Shiori wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2025 6:51 pmI feel in the rare opportunities you have a Perception of 3+, you should always just take both hunting and investigation.

So even with perception 3+ I'll typically not take it or take it at most as 1.

Re: OOC Chat 1
I didn't mean full spec on the skill of hunting! Just having a point seems to be fine. Just having a moment where I'm going "huh, why didn't I take this?".
Sometimes it doesn't make sense for the character too, of course.

Hunting is very much a skill that gets left out of Winter Court builds when the XP budget is at all tight

"Hunting"... that's when you go out for a pony ride in the sunshine with a picnic and cute dogs, and oh yes maybe someone brings their bow for some reason, right?

Re: OOC Chat 1
Eh, well Ikoma bards, which they will tell you are the best courtier class in the game, get a rank of a martial skill. I thought about Athletics, which wouldn't helped this game either. If I'd thought of the bowman's wager, I suppose I could've put it into kyujutsu to go shoot, I just didn't think of it. second rank was me going, "Well, I've got 2 xp to spend, it's either a emphais which haven't been tagged very often, this, or another rank of Lore: Lion"Shiba Ryusei wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2025 7:50 pmHunting is very much a skill that gets left out of Winter Court builds when the XP budget is at all tight![]()

I have Hunting because Sayomi grew up and spent her first time post-gempukku in the boonies, so she knows her way around hunting. As well as horses.

Your archery might be C tier, but at least it's an A tier skill.

Hunting catching all of these undeserved strays
I think hunting is just neat (potato).
I recall playing a Water 4 character once and rolling Xk4 on Hunting, Investigation, and Athletics was just neat. Maybe that should be a future concept. Would that be the same concept as Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes?
