are courtiers seen as more "important" in strict social context like court ? are the bushi more seen as warriors, so a little less sophisticated than courtier in the eye of the high ups ? To a point that narratively, a courtier is more "important" than a bushi ? a bit like shugenjas are more important to protect ?
there seem to be a clear difference since a courtier will not wield a katana and probably not any big armor which is a huge drawback. it feels like courtiers are strictly weaker than bushi in almost ALL situations except strict human social contexts. and if you give a few key shuji and social skill to your bushi then he just becomes 1000% more versatile than a courtier if he is taken as seriously in court, because he can talk nearly as good as a courtier + he can duel/skirmish/massbattle and the courtier cannot.
unless the courtier pick up a katana, and duel, and what not.. but if he stays with his tiny weapon and no armor... what is the point of playing a courtier unless most sessions are intrigues ? they are bad at everything else. So i was wondering if there is something narratively to make them bigger / more important / less disposable etc.
