GM Questions

[Marqus Forrester]

What's the TN for the Fighting part of the Squire's joust?

[Warryn Wydman]

Question around social norms. If I were to make some kind of party/gathering, would it be insulting to invite the Targeryens, or insulting not to invite them?

[Wylla Terrick]

Is there a specific location to post gossip making in general? Not for any reason, of course!

What's the TN for the Fighting part of the Squire's joust?

It was an error in the writing part; the rolls were 9 but I added the TN in last night.

Question around social norms. If I were to make some kind of party/gathering, would it be insulting to invite the Targeryens, or insulting not to invite them?

It would likely be expected, even if they didn't/couldn't attend.

Private forums. We'll make the work from there.

Are the wounded from the lists being tended anywhere specific?

If a healer type wanted to help out?

Just at the list in the next timeslot; those who're bad enough that can't be tended on the spot will be removed back to their house tent/Ashford Hold.

Is it possible to chose not to use the Shattering quality on weapons?

Can damage caused by Shattering be repaired?

(Shattering is the quality that reduced shield protection or armor when two or more degrees of success are scored).

I'd have to say no on the choosing not to; there's only a narrow range of weapons it's on.

Damage can be repaired, though it might often be easier just to get a new item entirely... like a shattered wooden shield.

If a weapon has Vicious (a defeated enemy is always dead), is it inappropriate to use in a tournament? Or can we assume it's blunted for the tourney?

Edit: Unrelated question: Do you round up or down when calculating Attractive rolls from Persuasion 3? Rule text: "Whenever you roll a Persuasion test, you may re-roll a number of 1s equal to half your Persuasion rank (minimum one re-roll)."

Vicious weapons are disallowed from primary tournament events. Lord Ashford doesn't want anyone killed.

In general, my assumption for rules is usually to round down unless the particular rule says otherwise.

[Kaliya Redding]

I'm pretty sure it says somewhere else in the book to round down, but I can't recall where off the top of my head.

EDIT: I had a look, and several similar situations specify to round down, but never up. My assumption is that you always round down, with a minimum of 1.

Where are the horses during all of this? I'm *ASSUMING* there's a stable since many of us paid for it, but I also assumed that there was more than one place to eat and I was wrong. >__<

There's semi-stableish arrangements in each compound.

[Davelyn Sand]

On page 58 under Animal Handling Other Uses:

When mounted on a war-trained steed, you may add your Animal Handling rank as bonus dice on your Fighting tests.

Ruling on my idea here.

And here.

EDIT: Actually, read this one first if you haven't read the other already.

[Ser Reynard]

Is the effect of Shattering weapons cumulative? So two hits (with sufficient degrees on each) with Shattering 2 could break a large shield (Defensive +4)?

That is how it reads.

Question around VP-s: Can the same goal be done multiple times for VP? Or can 1 goal only be done once?

Aka House Totesnotbandits can get someone with Thievery 3 for +1VP for their totally legitimate and non-shady goal. Can they get 3 people with Thievery 3 for 3 VP-s?

Unless a VP states otherwise, you can use it as many times as you want.

Thanks! Question on Inflience investments: Does child of heir count for succession? Like... Influence "holdings" are the first, second, child etc... specifically in Warryn's case, would we need to invest Influence for his son?

In interpret it as "First in Line", "Second in Line", etc. for Influence investments. At the moment, however, I would say that Warryn's child wouldn't cost Influence; the child would likely, for a time as a baby/toddler, remain a point of Status lower than Warryn.

[Maester Oswell]

Ruling on what I might know here?

[Warryn Wydman]

Can someone vouch for multiple people on the same day?
