Daily Luncheon provides a +1 bonus or more depending on day-job attribute. Weather may inflict a -2 or worse penalty for all jobs.
But what do those numbers mean?! Is it for the attribute, or for the final roll? In other words, is a +1 in Luncheon wasted if my not-cats all have uneven attribute scores, and can I mitigate weather through clever trinket distribution?
Hi there!!! This box displays information about a cat after it is generated!
TOPIC | Daily Luncheon & Weather modifiers
@Mossbird, it's for the minimum roll! All not-cats roll a number between their [skill] and 20. Weather, luncheons, trinkets (boosting the right attributes and personalities), and job bonuses effect that lower bound.
@Verm Okay yes but, let's assume a scenario:
Cathie the Builder has 13 Strength, which means +1, and also had a Warm Stew for a Luncheon bonus of 1.
Does the Luncheon bonus mean:
Cathie the Builder has 13 Strength, which means +1, and also had a Warm Stew for a Luncheon bonus of 1.
Does the Luncheon bonus mean:
- Cathie the Builder has 14 Strength, which still means +1, the Luncheon has no effect :(
- Cathie the Builder has +2 on the actual roll :)

The numbers apply to the potential roll a cat can have when performing their day job. These modifiers only apply to the bottom of the roll, which means every single cat can theoretically roll a 20.
A base value of +0 means the cat can roll a value that is 1-20. The modifiers such as lunch and weather affect the lowest roll, aka that 1.
So.
Our +0 cat on a day with -2 weather and +1 lunch will effectively have a -1 modifier to the job. This makes their potential rolls 0-20.
Cathie with +1 can roll 2-20. On this day with -2 weather and +1 lunch, they will effectively have a range of 1-20.
In your example, Cathie has a +2, making the potential roll 3-20.
Luncheon does NOT touch stats. It applies to the type of job. So +1 Strength isn't to the stat, just to the job that uses Strength as a stat.
Additionally, trinkets don't touch gathering rolls. They alter stats, which can then alter the gathering modifier if the next threshold is reached.

I think I get it now. Thanks Nae!
