Celestia has gotten basic lore knowledge, and the path into the mansus sorted. Those are the only requirement for anyone to get unlimited lore knowledge, espically easy to get Lateran where an unlimited source exists right in the Blank planes. Celestia if she put all her actions into it could be Lateran 4 in just 2 turns.
2 turns is just a bit too much I think.
Presumably Celestia is using simplified mechanics. Something along the lines of "each turn she rolls with a slowly increasing DC to go +1 on Lantern".
which is why I'm assuming the worst case (for us) is that she gets a level per turn.
...and, MAYBE, 2 levels on a nat100? Though possibly not even that.
I'm also looking at all of our followers, including Selene, and NONE of them was able to go +2 levels in the same lore in one turn.
Velvet TECHNICALLY could have, if she had enough sources of scraps, but it wouldn't be easy.
in any case, I keep to my "Worst case timetable"
Turn 21 end: Lantern 2
Turn 22 end: Lantern 3
Turn 23 end: Lantern 4 (so we probably want the Moth Sacrament planned for here at the latest)
Turn 24 end: Lantern 5 (So we probably want "All In" and maybe a plan from Selene to deal with her in case the quest continues or Velvet stays in the Wake and this affects the epilogue)
@OurLadyOfWires It's your call.
But I would object to calling the reroll minute.
Whatever the DC is, there's roughly a 25% difference in the probability of success. That's a 1 in 4 chance that we fail when the reroll would have saved it. And face whatever consequences come of failing a dangerous action.
That's not minute.
It's fair to want us to damn the dangers. But the reroll is not some small optimization. It's one of the precisely two things we can do to improve our odds at a difficult, dangerous, action, and it makes a meaningful difference.
the other being the influence, I imagine?
Rerolls and "up to +40" are the best ways we have to improve a roll's chance of success.
oh, and technically high level reagents for Rituals only, basically replacing the influence as a way to make things better.
Saw Pittauro (the site won't let me @ them) talk about this once, but I wonder if things will kick off with Rarity because of this… It might be a bit "dangerous" to be in the same room as her this month.
you know, I wasn't thinking of that
Pretty sure they are referring to the Ruined Church's stairs. The ones that stole a Health and a Heart Scrap. Stupid Church.
I was more thinking of the Wolf eternally rolling down the Ascent of Knives.
For people wanting to put 5 or 6 actions into DoA. What if DoA is a increasing DC action like SH sacrament? Perhaps we will complete step 1 or step 2 but if we don't have necessary influence would not we just waste leftover actions by trying to pass some really high DC ? I mean if there is no chance I guess Bird would allow us to stop, but I am not so sure for actions with at least some chance of success.
And on another note, while I COULD in an emergency give up Forge ritual or Selene lesson,
Friends and Family FOs are basically mandatory.
So if it ended up being between "finish Axe Sacrament now" and "do the FOs", I'd pick the second. JADE (and maybe Cadance) is probably extremely depressed, and our family was super worried too.

I like this, but I'll go ahead and post an even MORE prudent version
[x] Plan Prudent KISSing but even more prudent
-[x] (AotL) Lantern
-[x] (Forge) Forge
4 reagent
-[x] (Knock) Explore the Summit
-[x] (Winter) Invoke a Risen
-[x] (Social) Teach Selene

-[x] Fleeting Opportunity: Friends
-[x] Perform the Forge's Redemption
--[x] Sacrifice Forge 4 reagent
--[x] At Jade's old house
-[x] Sacrament: Through the Foggy Mirror (4x)
Only difference is we use a lvl 4 reagent (for an extra 35 bits over the lvl 3), to reduce the failure chance of the ritual by more or less another 2.5%.
Yes, chance was already around 97.5%, but
failing HERE is NOT an option!
Then the Prudent and Responsible thing to do is have 6 AP on DoA's Sacrament not a measly 4 AP.
FR and Selene should come after the Sacraments actions not before.
not really, because then you're risking not devoting any time to friends and family at all in the worst cases, so it's not prudent OR responsible.
