07:30:05 Devastator: the project for returning mars lander samples was greenlit.

12:42:24 Nikitian: Nothing, just fully rested (took a day off everything yesterday) and fairly joyous :)
12:44:52 Nikitian: Also, heh, looks like I'm internalizing the WCR system at last; had a dream where I was processing someone's turn, where they tried to shoot and disable and enemy rifle poking from behind a corner, and after analyzing this idea for a few minutes for whether it's even possible (is there a suitable weak point, is their own gun strong enough to e.g. pierce the rifle's gunmetal), I had a breakthrough that this is
12:44:52 Nikitian: exactly a Fortuity roll case - "looking for a structural weakness to exploit"
12:45:36 Nikitian: (working on WCR turn now, and Quest reply afterwards)
12:46:14 Devastator: well, I don't really have any orders this turn.
12:46:52 Nikitian: I'm assuming that you're inspecting crates and stuff for bad cultist magic, like you said earlier?
12:47:34 Devastator: well, no, the other guys are much better at that. I'm just being ready in case something jumps out.
12:49:10 Devastator: I mean, curses and what not aren't combat magic, so..
12:49:39 Devastator: 1 die would probably just lead to making things worse.
12:51:09 Nikitian: Ah, I'd assume you would be using Eagle Eye (attempting to understand observed magic) + Empathy (sense magic), so plenty of of dice to roll
12:52:46 Nikitian: Hm. "Comprehend" [observed magic] is actually more precise than "understand"
12:53:10 Nikitian: But both work, more or less
12:53:29 Devastator: Yeah, but this isn't combat magic, and checking for traps seems like either knowlege or awareness.
12:53:51 Devastator: Can't be just 'magic' or there's no real reason to ever roll those.
12:54:16 Devastator: I can see Empathy applying to a person, but an item?
12:56:13 Devastator: I'm also not seeing someone cast anything..
12:56:16 Nikitian: It's sensing that "some" magic is on it; and yeah, if the result proves confusing (or a two-step roll) discerning what it accomplishes would involve other rolls
12:57:04 Nikitian: *Maybe* some Awareness could work too, but it's more situational and jack-of-all-trades
12:59:16 Nikitian: By the way, something I wanted to ask since a little earlier
13:00:01 Nikitian: Do you think Emelia is a monster hunter as well, and would she have proficiency in identifying monsters (as part of her "profession")?
13:00:41 Nikitian: Not that they are terribly common, but that is still open to suggestions anyway
13:00:49 Devastator: maybe? Do they exist in setting?
13:00:58 Devastator: That just doesn't seem like her strong point.
13:01:32 Nikitian: Sure, we can always say it's a middling proficiency (something like 2 or 1)
13:01:40 Devastator: I mean to some degree, sure.
13:02:00 Devastator: but please no items or artificing stuff.
13:02:46 Nikitian: I'm not sure they exist, but if they do, I just feel that it might be part of her duties, and it felt like a natural extension of her narrative, so wanted to suggest it :)
13:03:03 Devastator: Yeah. It just feels wrong to have her actually be able to identify stuff when there's real experts around for that, now.
13:05:10 Devastator: same with eagle eye. I thought that was just combat stuff.
13:05:36 Devastator: anyway, catch you later.
13:06:36 Nikitian: Well, it kind of naturally grew into her being an expert of what's being cast around her; not a big expert (2), but still very useful when there evil cultists abound and they are willing to use magic against her
