FAQ

Does the hunting prompt count as a hunting activity piece?

No, it will not be rolled for prey and counts for the "rite" HP bonus rather than the activity HP bonus.

What tokota can I draw as the tagged tokota?

You can draw whoever you like! It can be your own tokota, a friend's, or one of the starter tokotas.

What can I draw for my tokota to "babysit"?

Anything young and in need of fulltime care, i.e. tokota pup, baby animal or child, up to you! The young you decide to draw can be your own characters/tokotas, a friends or totally made up - its your choice.

My tokotas rites were completed for the previous owner who is a member of a different faction. Can I still submit the rites?

Yes! You can submit a rite that has used a prompt for any of the factions. You will not receive a faction point if an excellent score is earned if the rite does not match your current faction.

My tokotas rites were in progress when I switched factions and now I have the wrong rite completed. Can I still submit the rites?

Yes! You can submit a rite that has used a prompt for any of the factions. If you submit your rites for judging and then switch factions you may not receive a faction point if an excellent score is earned.
