Carrick Balor isn't a very sociable person at all and probably doesn't have enough in common with a 10-year old to form a friendship with.

I'm surprised that you're going to dad for assistance rather than mom.

I can't really understand the people who aren't convinced by worked out mathematical proof that Slacking until grades drop is the most efficient possibly way of maintaining our grades. Literally the biggest risk is that her high grades temporarily drop a bit in Primary School, and we get a bonus action every time that coin flip comes up heads.
Will asking Mom to tutor us in literally everything be a little demanding? I don't know how busy she is.

She'll help if she's the best tutor for us in Multiform, same as with everything else. That sub-option was to get Dad to add on a Seer in addition to whoever the best tutor is.

Because slacking until our grades drop still involves slacking!

"Why?"
"What, you slacking off?"
"No, I mean why would I do that?"
"Oh, no reason for it. It's uncomfortable and unwieldy. But if you don't do it, that's slacking off!"
"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
"Slacker!"

And who exactly are you arguing against?
Because I'm fairly sure I'm going with 'don't stop studying' not 'start carrying around a heavy rock for no reason'.

You want us not to pick the "Slack" option.
You want this despite me proving with very simple maths that there is no benefit to this option, so you can't be picking it because you're worried about our grades.
You want this despite me pointing out how we spend all of our time studying, training and working towards freeing Jaffur, so it can't be because we'd actually form any bad habits regarding our work ethic.
This option wastes time and effort for literally no gain whatsoever.
All that is left to want this for is that you don't want to pick the option called "Slack".
I'd say it fits pretty well.
EDIT: Well, we're voting now, so we'll see how it goes.

@Sucal I just realised I didn't mention that it was meant to be about people not picking Slack in general, not you personally; it wasn't meant to be a personal attack.
Although this does kind of prove my point...
GilliamYaeger
M'crazy.
There is literally no reason not to slack.
Every time we slack and manage to maintain our grades (after the first time we pass), we've got an extra action per year compared to if we consistently study. If our grades start to dip, we simply redouble our efforts and everything's fine, we've made absolutely no loss if it happens on the first roll, and we've made significant gains with every year after the first that we make the roll.
Besides, after its all over nobody will give a fuck about what grades we got in school, only that we graduated. Its all about college/university courses and diplomas/degrees. Bs or As, they're all just passing grades.
And even if our friends complain about our seemingly lackluster effort, we can just point to our straight As.

We're only a Novice at being a Seer. We should do normal Seer training to get it to Practitioner and so we have a higher chance of successfully learning Mind Projection. You also don't have to specify to train with Mum. If she's the best teacher for her skills, we'll learn under her by default. It's better you don't specify it so if there are better teachers for those skills we'll learn under them instead. Command Training in particular seems like something Dad would be better at.

If we fail to convince Sensei to teach us Mind Projection, the roll defaults to a regular Seer Training slot. If there's really no way we'll learn it this year, there's no chance we'll be able to convince Sensei, through his experience in the matter and his being a Seer, so it's self-correcting. If he lets us try it and we don't succeed, we'll still make progress towards it and, presumably, a lesser amount of regular Seer XP. Also, people really want to try and make progress towards it to get to a point where we can talk to Jaffur.
And I've somehow missed us automagically picking the best available teacher - could you post a quote/link? I'll update the plan accordingly if you do.

We want to be able to talk to Jaffur as soon as possible. If we do the training but fail, we won't be able to talk to Jaffur next year or at the least it'll be harder to do so. We'll have better odds being able to do it next turn if we get more Seer training done this turn.
@PoptartProdigy, can we make use of our "strong family support structure" by getting Mum and Dad to talk with us about ourselves, thereby getting increased chance of success for The Examined Life?

If we do regular Seer training we still can't do it next year. If we focus on it this year then even on a failure we'll make progress; our overall Seer skills won't rise as much, but we'll overall be closer to Mind Projection.
Thank you for the quote, I'll update the plan.
And I think I'll add that bit as well.

It will make us a Practitioner Seer this year, increasing our odds of learning the technique, successfully using the technique to do what we want (at Novice looking for visions on purpose is unreliable at best), or successfully getting to him by "flying blind" if we fail to get the technique.
You're also overlooking the insane amount of utility a Practitioner Seer has. We'd be someone who can literally see the future (and the past and present) on demand, and that would increase the chance of success for a number of different actions, not just contacting Jaffur. That alone is reason enough to add standard Seer training.

This is all news to me - our progress towards the next rank isn't on the character sheet. I'll think about what to replace.
EDIT: How do we know this? We might be close enough for dedicated Mind Projection Training to push us over that edge anyway.

Sorry, I have to first admit that a bit of what I said might've been misleading. Us becoming a Practitioner this year isn't certain, it's just possible, but everything else is true. Aside from that, even if we fail to get Practitioner Seer this year after both the standard training and the specialised training, we'd be rather likely to succeed next year, resulting in the same things in regard to Jaffur if not with our other actions.
Putting the Ki Manipulation actions into Seer Training is likely to get us to Practitioner this year, by my estimate. I myself really want to get it and Ki Talents up to Exceptional but it's the least priority item in your plan.
