GM questions

[Yoritomo Seika]

I'm assuming with us focusing on the command module there's probably no way for Use Computer to help with figuring out what happened in the garden. Is there anything to be gleamed by Investigation? Or was the failed Engineering roll the one shot at it.

Or Commune, or Reflections of Pan Ku? (Tossing my own shugenja investigation doodads into the toolbox...)

[Tassu]

Nope, whatever drove that machine is toasted!

Fire kami might linger (see rules about communing with spirits bound in machines).

Communing with the ghosts in machines
Additionally, this prayer can be used to commune with spirits inhabiting the mundane spirit-machinery the Empire relies on. While communing with a sword might reveal a little, communing with the spirits of a communicator or a computer could reveal more. Bound to their circuits, the spirits of the machines are notoriously difficult to rouse and thus any shugenja wishing to commune with them has to call one Raise to gain their attention.

It is possible to commune with spirits bound to machines. For example, one might ask for details about who has used a given piece of equipment or what the device has been used to do. However, most devices have been programmed to make a log entry for each such inquiry the system processes, making it likely that someone will notice people have been questioning the spirits there.

For Tassu

[Kitsu Kanna]

Is there somewhere a curated list of Lore skills, with all the lores of the age of stars included (like Lore: Biology and Lore: Deep Space)? I haven't been able to find one in version 1.51 of the rules.

Tassu may correct me on this one later, but I'd say not, since even in RAW the Core Rulebook mentions Lores can be "almost anything else".

[Susumu Sumiko]

Likely one for Tassu - Some perfectly innocent hacking

Some stuff (probably Tassu).

[Hotaru Sakura]

Low urgency

[Yogo Ono]

Magic: Magic is not allowed unless character rolls contested Agility / Stealth (Spellcasting) against the crowds and officials. Emphasis is needed to make the roll and only spells that last at least for an hour can be employed. Needless to say, getting caught has consequences. Soshi Shugenja school technique can be used to bypass this restriction.

Can Yogo wardmaster school technique and Awareness/Acting (Disguise) used as alternatives to the Stealth(Spellcasting)?

No.

[Kitsu Kanna]

Out of principle.

A quick note to an npc, doesn't need a reply.

Session 3 Heist begins

[Hato]

Heist 3 here

[Dai]

Something Dai hopes never comes up but I don't see in rulings:

The Gunfighter Advantage states:

Attacks performed with sidearm within 5’ of the opponent count as melee attacks for all purposes.

Does this mean a desperate Gunfighter could use Full Attack when engaged at melee range?

Yes, but should they move outside that 5' they would not be able to shoot anymore. Since you cannot deliver ranged attacks in Full Attack stance. But as long as they stay close enough, then yes.
