We need MAX Martial. It's our war AND our combat stat. Without maximizing it, we greatly risk our lives. We also need high learning to constantly improve our stats. Diplomacy and intrigue is needed to be good as well. Stewardship and piety can go last cause even tho stewardship is important, it doesn't have the high risks that intrigue/diplomacy come to have.

So here is my plan.
So what is different from the other plans ?
I don´t take stealth as that isn´t that good for us. Why ? because our char will not be the one that trys to get information, sabotage buildings or kill people in their sleep. We have people for that job we just have to find them.
For the stats :
Int isn´t that important look at the parents of the mc the int stat is high and we can train it to get higher. Piety is the same.
Stewardship and Learning are pretty important and then our main stats Martial and Diplo.
The thing we will do the most is leading armys and talking with other nobles so we should get there as much stats as we can.
Change the stats to plan [] Stat Allocation "I wanna be like Kanki but not quite Kanki" as the high learning stat in Ic, because of our traits.
Why is everyone only chosing one personal action? I would suggest one personal on family relations and the other to double down on whatever action we want to go through the most, probably art of war or sword training. Also get legendary sword and have our Dad train us to use it.

Because most aren´t sure how many personal action we have.
I ask the Qm already about them as i am not really sure there, but he isn´t online at the moment ...
I would go with Art of war if we have the dd.

Turns will last half a year in duration. You will receive two personal actions each turn, which you can use to take an extra action in one of the other trees or to double down on an existing choice for a bonus of +20 to that roll.
@Japanime we have two personal actions right?
We can ether use them to do personal actions, dd or get one more action for this turn for one of the other fields right ?
Yes, you have two personal actions. You can choose not to take an action from the list and just take another action with it or double down if you want.

Eh, this would be the only possible way for you to actual gain Kanshou since its been shown that Bakuya was in the possession of Chu. Since the Chu capital of Ei was recently conquered this was the only chance to get it unless you straight up conquered Chu, which would only happen during the unification. Considering How it was hinted that Shin started with a treasure blade of his own I thought it was fair to give you one as well, you will probably need it.
If you don't want it though, I can edit that option out and just give you the land.
I am typing on my phone during a break so don't expect many more replies.
Ayt so, how do we exactly want to allocate those stats? We've got 4,4,3,6,5,3 and I'm guessing these are for Diplomacy, Martial, Steward, Intrigue, Piety, and Learning?

[X] Plan Noble
-[X] This only goes as far as the plans of action
[X] Stat Allocation "I wanna be like Kanki but not quite Kanki"
-[X] Martial: 6
-[X] Learning: 5
-[X] Intrigue: 4
-[X] Stewardship: 4
-[X] Diplomacy: 3
-[X] Piety: 3
Stat allocation is reasoned as follows:
Martial is at 6 because we need to buff this up ASAP if we wanna be anywhere competent on the battlefield that necessitates us using pointy objects to make killy motions. We absolutely cannot let up on this otherwise we become squisher targets for enemy elites who can just squeeze through whatever plan of action we put into place. We've seen Kyoukai wreck shit, and I'd rather us be Kyoukai if that scenario was to happen.
Learning is at 5 because while secondary to Martial (and dice rolls), this allows us to keep up with the curve. Enough investments here and we can even be said learning curve. The more relevant information we have at our disposal, the more plans we can actually put into use. This ties up with Intrigue and Stewardship at 4. Intrigue is for the cunning that will inadvertently be required because the only way to win at life is to be even more unfair than Life itself. This means better resource allocation and better ways to stack the odds in our favour.
Diplomacy and Piety is at 3 because, well, the most convincing thing to have is a pointy object right at your enemy's throat or any variation thereof that would force them to comply. Honey and barbs are useful, yeah, but we can just learn how to do this thanks to our high learning ability and educational funds.
Yes, you have two personal actions. You can choose not to take an action from the list and just take another action with it or double down if you want.
Put the dd in as we have new information from the QM. The rest is the same.
I also hope we can not do stealth and do the action that makes vastly more sense when you play a noble char stealth would have been good if we had played as anything else.
I am thinking of changing my vote to Stat Allocation "I wanna be like Kanki but not quite Kanki" as the learning 5 is more in line with our traits.
