Yeah, it could have been useful. On the other hand relying on fortune telling in a major way is a weakness for us and it makes the story less compelling for me. We alse haven't shown how good our capabilities are on that front, and if we can keep that card hidden, we gain a major advantage in politics inside the realm. We have to be useful enough to be kept around, known enough to be a candidate for election but not publically powerful enough to be seen as the threat.
I wasn't addressing just you, and you still have 2 fewer training actions than I have in my vote.
It makes for a different kind of story. Being able to see a major invasion a decade ahead of time and scrambling to make all preparations we can in time could be quite interesting, for example.
I think it's far less story-breaking at the polity level than it is on a personal mission level and I really think Mirande's place is at the polity level
If you went down to three training actions, what would you choose for your fourth action?
Do remember that doing improve health every other turn is enough to hit all pregnancies and people with aggressive diseases can be put into stasis
None of the alternatives are all that appealing compared to training, but I guess invigorating the council or training Jinah.
That's a reason to work on future telling to make it useful, not to use a relatively ineffective action now.
When I wrote "less compelling to me" I meant, that it would be less compelling to me personally. AN can write it, and he can write it well.
"You mean we could have avoided this if only you haven't decided that sitting around was more important than 2000 lives?"
Doubt she has adamantum will
The alternative is iron will and +4 from disciplines. Mirande is only getting +2. That seems at least as unlikely. Adamantium will could be explainable by just being that freakishly talented, but how would she be getting something like 16 discipline ranks at her age?
She might have some kind of Forest Survival/Dragonslaying trait which also contributes to her absurdly large personal combat score? That could be the other +2.
Maybe pyromancy gives more willpower? Is some trait from her wilderness wanderings possible?
