How do I take my turn?

Asked with: Tamashii: Chronicle of Ascendbg-356754-en-1e

A turn consists of the following phases and steps:

Planning phase (resolved simultaneously by all players)

1. Trace Roll step: Roll Player dice according to the number shown on your Trace track threshold (skip this step during your first turn).[1] For each rolled result, draw and attach 1 Enemy.[1] If you drew at least 1 Enemy, set your Trace to 0.[1] Note that players should draw Enemies starting with the First Player.[1]

2. Refill Launcher step: All players simultaneously refill their Launchers by drawing Data tokens one-by so from their Data Bags and placing them on empty Highlighted Data slots, filling from top to bottom and left to right.[1] If the Data Bag runs out, move all tokens from your Dump to the Data Bag and continue.[1]

3. Program step: All players simultaneously may move tokens on their Launchers.[1] You may perform a number of moves indicated by the Programming value (PRO) on your Body.[1] A move consists of sliding 1 Data token by 1 slot or switching 2 adjacent Data tokens (not diagonally).[1]

Move & Trace step

1. You have 1 opportunity to move your Character.[2]

2. If moving: Check your active Body's Movement (MOV) value for maximum range.[2] You may select a District tile in range and place your Character on it.[2] You cannot move through face down tiles; if you enter a face down tile, you must immediately stop and reveal it.[2] When revealing a tile, first reveal and resolve any Exploration token present, then reveal the District tile itself.[2] If you reveal a Faction Hideout, shuffle the corresponding Faction Augment deck and place it in the play area.[2]

3. If not moving: You may choose to leave your Character on their current District tile.[2]

4. Increase Trace: If you moved, increase your Trace by the Entry Trace value of the new District tile.[2] If you remained on the same tile, increase your Trace by its Stationary Trace value.[2]

Action phase

1. Launch step: During this step, you may launch Patterns.[3] To launch a Pattern, dump all tokens used in the Pattern into your Dump tile and resolve the Pattern's effects.[3]

First Player Token step

1. The current First Player passes the First Player token to the next clockwise player.[4]

2. Proceed to the next Turn and start another Planning phase.[4]

retrieval — what the passage search returned

what this block IS: the PASSAGE SEARCH's own results — the same search that fills this page's closest-passages list — and NOT the passages the answerer read. Answering runs its OWN retrieval: a far wider candidate pool, re-ranked down to a final handful, plus floors this search never applies — the base rulebook, surviving errata corrections, and one slot per book on a multi-book read. Each of those armed only if THIS ask sent what it needs: the boost block names the ids it forwarded, and the scope line names the books it read. A document the answer CITES that no row here names is therefore EXPECTED, not a defect: two searches, two candidate pools, two orders. The answerer's own final rows are shown in their own block below, beside these and never mixed into them.

score = the fused retrieval score (reciprocal-rank fusion over the search arms) — NOT a cosine similarity. This ruling ran the THREE-ARM fuse (full-text + vector + the doc-priority boost arm, which carried the base rulebook and/or the errata corrections this query matched), whose arithmetic ceiling is 0.04918 — all three arms ranking the same chunk #1 (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60). The measured healthy band 0.016–0.033 was measured on TWO-arm asks and does not bound this one: its high end is the two-arm ceiling, and a third arm has room above it. A chunk only one arm ranked highly lands near 0.016 (that one arm's #1 vote), so 0.03 here is an excellent hit, not a 3% match.

per-arm ranks (the rank each search arm gave a chunk): NOT DISCLOSED by the gateway. Fusion happens gateway-side and only the FUSED score crosses the wire, so rulesage cannot show them without a gateway change. The rank column below is the FUSED rank (position in the returned list), which is real.

token count per chunk: NOT DISCLOSED — chunk token counts are not reported on the ask path. The character counts below are of the bounded snippet/quote rulesage actually received — a real measurement of what we hold, never an estimate of the chunk.

what the answerer read — the passages it actually had in front of it

what this block IS: the passages the ANSWERING read put in front of the answerer, in the order it read them — the other half of the two reads described above, and the one that decides what the answer could possibly say. Each row names the book it came from and where in that book it sits, what it scored when the search arms were fused, which arm carried it there, and whether the re-ranker chose it or a floor guaranteed it a slot. A row here that no passage-search row names is EXPECTED: a far wider pool, re-ranked, with floors the passage search never applies.

candidate pool: the answering read scored 73 passages, out of a ceiling of 80 set gateway-side. Both figures are reported by the gateway for THIS ask — measurements of what actually happened, not constants read out of anyone's source and printed here on faith.

floors armed for this ask: the base rulebook — armed · surviving errata corrections — not armed · one slot per book on a multi-book read — not armed. Every floor is stated on every ask, armed or not, so a floor that did not apply here is never mistaken for one this app does not know about.

arms fused for this ask: vector + full-text + the doc-priority boost arm. Stated separately from the rows because an arm that ran and carried nothing is a different fact from an arm that never ran.

generation — timing and the path taken

timing split: retrieval 138 ms · first delta 1474 ms · total 10538 ms (retrieval and first-delta both measured from the START of gateway work, so first-delta INCLUDES retrieval — do not subtract)
full breakdown: queued 6331 ms · retrieval 138 ms · ask 4064 ms · gateway work 4207 ms · total 10538 ms
tokens in (the prompt the answerer read): 3344
tokens out (what the answerer generated): 534
tok/sec: 201.7 tok/sec — 534 output tokens in 2.648 s of generation
live seat (read from the running child): answering — gemma4:26b think:false · num_ctx 32768 (live-verified 56s ago)
gateway schema (read from the running child): schema head 0042_definer_search_path (live revision not readable by this principal)
answerer host (measured by rulesage): reachable (for 5h, checked 9s ago)
answerer node (the seat proxy's own header — this probe, not this ask): node1
stream path: streamed — the gateway pushed at least one accumulated draft
watchdog: first-token watchdog: 30s per arming window (rulesage.table.first-token-watchdog-seconds), re-armed once by the passages frame — so the worst case before a reader falls back to polling is 60s. Whether it actually fired is a BROWSER-side decision that never reaches the server, so it is not recorded here. The stream path above is the server's half of that story: whether a delta was emitted at all.
num_ctx · think posture: both are the CHILD's settings, not rulesage's, and no ask reply carries them — an answer never states which context window or think posture produced it. The live-seat line above reads them from the running child instead, where the gateway can answer for itself; it describes the child NOW, not this ask.

disposition

outcome: ANSWERED — Answered
abstain rationale (n/a — this ruling answered): answered — no abstain rationale applies

setup-shape — why the checklist band did or didn't render

decision: NOT_SETUP_SHAPED — no setup-shape pattern matched this question

errata registry — what the gate above had to match against

this game registers NO errata cards (edition 1226), so "no registered errata card matched" above could never have matched one

Errata scope: the gate above matched this ruling's own edition only. When an ask also reads an expansion, that expansion's own registered errata cards stay outside the match — a stated phase-1 limitation, not a failed lookup.
