I find your lack of faith disturbing.
We have the basics covered by both Yu and the guys at Luoying Manor. Jing will never be a politician, a man of intrigue; we might want to concentrate on what Jing knows best - the martial arts. And Artistic Skill is crucial for that, because the intricately written manuals is how the knowledge is passed from generation to generation these days. What use are they if we can read them, but can't understand them properly?
Yeah, with the way we've been going, we aren't going to be pardoned anytime soon. Even if Shun ascends to the throne tomorrow, a move like that would earn him a lot of enemies in Court, even with his overall brilliance and political savvy. Sure, we might do something in the future that might change their opinion of us, but right now it looks like wishful thinking. We are in a much better position to help the Prince by infiltrating and gaining respect amongst the worst of the worst in the pugilistic world, like the Black Dragon Society. We'll use our bad rep to help our bro and be the hero that China deserves. Because we can take it
Out of your post, I disagree with this. For one, Shun has the "gifted as fuck" trait and he has also been preparing himself for the throne, so I doubt our asskicker Jing would do a better job of advising him.
Well I am pretty torn between scholaristic skills and artistic skills. Artistic skills definitely helps us as martial artist, but scholar skills in this case focuses on history and classics. Scholar skills may allow gave us more information during decisions where Scholarbro may simply have time to explain things. Remember people that Scholarbro is not most staunch support of empire with good reasons, so he could withdrawn information depending situation.
Then again with us going unorthodox as fuck and prince being gifted as as fuck we don't need scholarship skills unless we are in situation where we do not access either to shu or scholarbro. ( I had actually forgotten that prince is gifted as fuck and didn't even thought that we likely remain out of court due our reputation, not to mention I thought our artistic skills was 1 instead 2 like it appears at character sheet.)
A3AB . meh, flopping again since I didn't hink things trough
