Money and Power

Status grants a decent approximation of a character’s available wealth—sometimes. However, even daimyō can find their coffers drained after a drought year, and merchants can grow startlingly wealthy. If a character’s wealth is uncharacteristic of their status, the GM should treat their status as being one that reflects their accessible wealth for the check to marshal an army. For example, a wealthy foreign ship captain (status 0) with a hold full of goods to entice allies might treat their status as 30, while a destitute Great Clan samurai (status 30) whose estate is in ruins and whose vassals have been dismissed might treat their status as 10.
Additionally, at the GM’s discretion, a character who is appealing to a group of peers (or even their superiors) rather than their subordinates might use Performance or Courtesy for their marshaling check instead.
