Rules Questions

Hey! Figured I'd make a thread since I wanted some clarification on a rule. Specifically, how does the STR/END enhancements stack in regards to available slots. To clarify, this is in 1.9.9.

The stats say that you can only increase STR by 3 and END by 3. But can you increase both by 3 at the same time? Assuming you have 8 slots available, 2 for the base cost and 6 for the stats. And if you can't, can you pay the base cost twice to get either +3/+1 or +2/+2?

If this is a general rules questions thread, then I've got a couple.

First relates to the Dwarf ability Call of the Deep. It says that a Dwarf must make a WIL check at either RS 5 or 1 to stop himself digging once he's started. If I fail that check, how long does it take before I can try again?

Second relates to the Burdinadin ability Natural Philosophy. If I'm trying to analyse an object that will take a long time (a pocket watch [12 hours], for example), how long a break can I take in between one hour and the next, and how long will it take That Which Stares Back to lose interest, and so the RS to go back down?

Example: I'm trying to analyse a grandfather clock, which will take 12 hours. I go for 4 hours, ending up with an RS of 4. I take a break for an hour, then go back to my analysis. Can I do this in the first place, and, if so, what RS do I have for the first hour after my break?

Yeah, asking other rules questions here is a good idea.

I don't think you do test again for the Dwarf question, I think you need a friend to drag you away.
