On the contrary. The greater the difference between yous and hers the better. Hence to give the best possible chance you maximize hers first. The bigger the difference and the lower your own the faster it is. The smaller the difference and the higher your own is the slower it gets.
What? Where are you getting this from in the code? I have never got an INT increase when at 180 INT while Caitlin was at 225 INT. It has to be a small difference between us for me to get a +1.

Hello... me again... ;)

So.... I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but yesterday I tried to get intelligence from the cafe conversation with my Stormchild according to your tips and didn't get a single point. I used the debug menu to move our intelligence further apart and closer together, then tried the 3 dice options and nothing worked. I only managed to pass the intelligence roll twice, but even then I didn't get a point. So I've given up now and am trying to get my intelligence points from Dexter Colt or from these RPG events, although I've never tried them, maybe I'll have better luck there... :)

You should've just kept passing the intelligence checks. It's not a 100% chance to gain int on a passed check, but you need a passed in check for it.

The RPG event is a one-time bonus for doing the pen&paper RPG house event 3(?) times.

Oh well... ok... then I'll test it further... :)

Hm... I didn't know that you only get points once. It's not really clear in the Wiki description...


Ok, thanks for these hints... :)

And you won't because it maxes out at 120.

Wife cafe for you has no cap. Had no cap. Maybe it is capped now. But that was the beauty of wife cafe. You put your wife in the Academics lecturer job (which used to be uncapped INT gain), and then go to the cafe to gain INT every time she gained 1 more INT than you. I used that to get to 300 INT.

EDIT: here was an old post of mine https://f95zone.to/threads/masters-of-raana-v0-8-4-4c-grimdark.100207/post-14640504
Cool. I don't know what to tell you though. Maybe i'm wrong and it's just a particularly long streak of bad luck. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On the contrary. The greater the difference between yous and hers the better. Hence to give the best possible chance you maximize hers first.
The condition is:

<<set $chance=$masterint>>
<<set $chance-=$skillroll>>
<<set $chance-=_npc.int>>
<<if _npc.scarefactor gte 3>><<set $chance-=10>><</if>>
<<if $aca gte 80 or $tech gte 80>><<set $chance+=15>><</if>>
<<if $aca gte 90 and $tech gte 90>><<set $chance+=15>><</if>>

As far as I understand, that means if she's smarter than you, it's automatic fail (masterint - _npc.int < 0), unless you've got academics or science 80+, which boosts chance by +15, or both at 90+ giving +30.

If you pass the skillroll, the chance to gain int is 1 out of 5.

This line is for the wife's INT gain.

Below this is:

&lt;&lt;if _ran lte 2 and _npc.int lte 99&gt;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your wife&#39;s &#39;&#39;INTELLIGENCE (+1)&#39;&#39; has increased!&lt;&lt;set _npc.int+=1&gt;&gt;&lt;&lt;/if&gt;&gt;

And right below that, it specifically states:

&lt;&lt;if _ran is 1 and $masterint lte _npc.int&gt;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your wife&#39;s great mind has increased your own &#39;&#39;INTELLIGENCE (+1)&#39;&#39; as well!&lt;&lt;set $masterint+=1

It's for both. You get to pass the skillroll first, and then, if the wife's int is below 100 and the 1-5 random roll is 1-2, she gets int increase, and if her int is above yours and the _ran roll is 1, you get int increase.

Bottom line is, you're right and the other guy wrong, the smaller the gap between wife's superior int and yours, the easier it is to offset it with aca/science chance bonus to have a chance to succeed.

So you need superclose intellect and have 80-90+ in science or academics? :unsure:

That's what I can discern from the code, yes.
Thanks. I checked it myself as well and now i'm wondering if it really is an automatic fail without S/A 80+.
I corrected my post on the matter the meantime.

Discipline, Science, and Admin all more then 100 - still zero
Did you actually assign them to the job? IIRC the display is a bit bugged, but shows correct value once the person in question is already at the job.

Otherwise, post screenshot for clarification.

Wait, so you assign them to job, but not send to the location?
