The Six Tasks to Wisdom

[Jd Smith1]

How big a factor is Honor playing? That would definitely affect agency, IMO.

Not Honor the mechanic. Just a traditional series of actions as recommended by Ye Old Monks of The Mid-Calf Yellow Robes, sort of thing.

 

[Jd Smith1]

Does it have to be 6?

Nah. Just a series of generic tasks to prove the PCs 'worthy'.

 

[Jd Smith1]

IMO if they’ve chosen to play a game where honor matters then not making it matter or running a different game is what would affect their agency.

Path of Wisdom, then. The term isn't important, just that this is an age-old tradition of proving oneself worthy.
