How do we present the Animal Handling rolls? Do we need to post them in the Threads we make, or just the Event?

Can the puppies call raises unskilled rolls? I assume no, but the unlimited raises bit is confusing me a bit in the morning...

Post your rolls for the training (as described below) in your post in this thread, not in threads that appear elsewhere.


In the event thread.

No, they are simply not limited by their lowest Trait, per the normal rules for Raises without a Void Ring. You still need the Skill to call Raises.

Do we spend the successful training points immediately or can we wait until all training montage rolls are done? If it's the former, do we update the stat block as we go for each post?

1) How long do spells need to last to be useable? Both
A) on the thread itself
B) if you cast the spell the previous timeslot

2) If a spell allows a puppy to add 1k1 to certain rolls, is the puppy smart enough to do so (as in can we assume as we're rolling that we can add 1k1)

Edit: one more!

3)
Spell effect: He gains a +3k0 bonus to any rolls made to resist emotional manipulation or the distractions of desire

Could this apply to this part of the event?

Cheering Crowd: The puppy must avoid becoming distracted by the large number of samurai that are cheering on the event.

The rolls are made for the Event Thread. So, I think we can wait until the montage is done.

If I regain a VP in EA can I use it then for the EA training slot?

Worth asking...

Can the puppy's rolls be cooperative, as their trainer guides them through the course?

No matter your animal handling, there is no way to "train" the puppy more then 4 times even with raises correct?

To keep the puppy : you need to have called 4 raise or successfully called 4 raises?

I'm pretty sure it's the puppy.

"Characters whose puppies make four or more Raises over the course of the event will be allowed to keep their puppy once the event has finished."

I figure that's why we aren't limited to the Puppies Void. Otherwise, it could be something like puppy has 2 Void, but can't spend it.

Since the training happens in other threads, can there be any assist bonus type things?
