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...

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?
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.
Dragon ▪ Courtier ▪ Bushi ▪ Inquiring Mind
Status 33 ▪ Honor 55 ▪ Glory 50
Gear: Traveling or ceremonial clothes, fan, knife, wooden beads, very probably a book, flute. (Maybe: bō, yumi.)

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

Always worth asking! And I will take any advantage I can get. Domo.
