Still on goals, a bit of convoluted example to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Let's imagine a group of people want to create the Ikoma Archives.
The Archives themselves would be like 3 points right?
But if they want to have for this to also be represented as a path (Ikoma Historian), do they need to spend an additional 3 points for that?
And if a unaligned character who contributed to the creation of this wants to become a Ikoma Historian, do they also need to spend an extra 1 point to join the family?
Sure. To create the school, yes. Yes.

Big goals need people or time.

Regarding children and end game goal points.

Is it 1 point per child, or 1 point per child per parent?

Can we prepare the future battlefield by digging up trenches, building barricades and co?

Are non-shugenja characters allowed in the wedding thread for fluff even if they don't contribute anything mechanically? Or is it assumed they'll depart after having done their part at LA at the latest?

I'll ask Tyrus.

As long as I can find the rolls, you can be there.

Just realized I might be making an unfounded assumption:

For the Wedding shield Importune is the +5/Commune to the Importune skill roll, the casting roll after Importuning, or both? Or is it a case where it is a pool of free raises to divide between the rolls as the Importuner sees fit?
