Any chance Paragon of Honour would apply to any of the Steps? I kinda think it 'might', as 'leading honourably' and 'battling honourably' are a thing, but at the same time honour might make you less likely to exploit certain advantages...

Similarly Kuge Lineage and/or Famously Reliable (although more the former than the latter)?

Indomitable Will (Earth, Mental, Interpersonal)
* You can always choose to stand your ground, even when faced with untenable odds, super- natural terrors, or sorcerous powers that bend the minds of lesser souls.
* When performing a check for which you need to keep your cool when dealing with danger (such as a Command [Earth] check to give orders under pressure or a Meditation [Earth] check to resist the effects of fear), you may reroll up to two dice.

The language in Step 3 about resoluteness/standing firm/being on the front line immediately makes me think of Indomitable Will, but on the other hand this isn't a genuinely dangerous situation. What do you think, oh GM? Is a Topaz test sufficiently "under pressure" to count?

Can I apply either of my Blessings (Ebisu and Kisshoten) to step 3 when dealing with the Ashigaru?
