[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7419087, member: 82504"] Tony is more forgiving of it... There is a problem with making it a daily even. It could be a martial practice (or even just an effect achievable with the boyscouts preparedness practice) if one can come up with a way to make it sufficiently situationally valuable. In this case you wouldnt be renewing your retinue but bringing in commonly aquireable hirelings. I suppose like the once a month limit on the heros shout one could insert an arbitrary limit. There are the non-arbitrary limits in place for the Preparedness practice however, things cost what they might reasonably cost (in coin of Karma Points usually or promises), so hiring a bunch of mercs to meet you at X, n days hence depends on where X is and whether you got the last bunch glory or just death and similar considerations. Normally a ritual/practice is more efficient than the unpracticed method in a town I can purchase food for X for instance and acquiring similar via hospitality practice is efficient and while it too implies off screen activity, the preparedness practice earns a convenience surcharge (no or little efficiency benefit) because it will effectively always be invoked when that resource would not normally be available at all.
