Can Imperial characters actually host events? If so, are there adjustments to scoring to compensate their "at home" advantage?
They can, and there isn't, since they don't have any practical, mechanical advantage in particular.

Sort of. I'll make note in the Event Schedule that an Audience hour is held Early Afternoon each day. That was my bad.

Would the Master of Games path technique apply to the event? Here is the wording:
When making a Social Skill Roll against someone of higher Status, you gain a +2k1 bonus so long as you maintain a modest and subservient manner and tone.

Assuming gifts are provided by the clan and not coming out of personal funds?
This is correct. You're being sent by the Kami to the wedding of the niece, they'll provide you something appropriate nice.

Magic: Not Allowed
Asking for now and future events, do Togashi Tattoos count as Magic in events? :)

And the age old question of if Benten's Blessing applies in this Event.

In the grand tradition of asking this very dumb but still relevant question: Are the gift-giving rolls considered to be contested?

Fair warning that if the answer to this question is Yes, I'll have to ask the obligatory Bayushi follow-up (how many points of disadvantages?). :lol:

Usually I assume static TN rolls aren't, though? Since contested is two characters opposing dice pools.

Yes. And you're not trying to convince anyone, so no.

Just a basic one; For those with Craft or Artisan skills, would there be the possibility for such people to have made a gift for the gifting event?

I just assumed I was part of creating my gift. Didn't do any rolls for it because it would have happened before game. I imagine if yor family wanted you to create something for a gift you probably would have been given time and resources to make it perfect.

I didn't see this asked, but I scrolled through, so I'm not sure.

Can we use out points before the game is over (ie complete the Clan goal)?
