Would this be the right place for asking about some mechanical details of Toward One? Because that isn't a comment-able thread.

Sure.

And here are the Allies:

  • An Attendant Spirit converts Renown to Insight.
  • A Caravaneer converts Renown to Leisure.
  • A Courtier converts Leisure to Prowess.
  • A Family Member converts Respect to Renown.
  • A Follower converts Righteousness to Renown.
  • A Former Teacher converts Leisure to Righteousness.
  • A Student converts Leisure to Illumination.
  • A Wife converts Prowess to Leisure.

Renown looks extraneous here, being a Stat rather than a Bonus, and I can't really figure out how it should be converted (permanent loss?). Am I missing something in the rules, or is there a mistake in this chart?

Heck if I know. Try this instead, off the top of my head:

• An Attendant Spirit converts Respect to Insight.
• A Caravaneer converts Respect to Leisure.
• A Courtier converts Leisure to Respect.
• A Family Member converts Respect to Prowess.
• A Follower converts Righteousness to Respect.
• A Former Teacher converts Leisure to Righteousness.
• A Student converts Leisure to Illumination.
• A Wife converts Prowess to Leisure.

Thanks! Currently trying to talk some of my fellows into playing this game. There's something to it that really "clicks" with me, so I'd love to.
