[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 8741214, member: 71699"] IKR! Others keep revisiting it. As I hopefully made pretty clear up-thread, I took no issue at all with gaining 1s for investing the resource. That 1s can be granted [I]regardless [/I]of the number on the Nature check, as the check for the ritual determines the ritual's [I]effectiveness[/I], not whether it succeeds. (It determines Overland Flight speed.) You tied it to the number rolled, which can be parsed under the rules to mean one of two things [LIST] [*]You wanted to see an Overland Flight of above a certain speed (15+) to get that 1s [*]You wanted a hard Nature check anyway, and using Eagles' Flight was granting an auto-1s [/LIST] (Seeing as you called for one roll, it seems it must be the latter, right?) What I queried in the first instance was whether you intended to grant +1s for Nature check as primary or secondary skill use, which is covered by a specific rule (advantages for complexity 3+ challenges). Conceivably, in that case one would be granting an ongoing +1s (where Nature was allowed to contribute more than once to the SC.) You clarified - as I understood your later post - that you did [I]not [/I]intend that. Which made sense to me as that chimes better with the rules on advantages for complexity 3+ SCs. Phewf. [/QUOTE]
