"A House may spend", character pool can't be used.

"A House may spend", character pool can't be used. I’m sorry, hadn’t run in to this distinction before and all of my blood points have just gone in to the broader house count alongside my own count so far. Do we just need to decide internally on the spend then?

It means that House Blood Points (as distinctive from Character blood points) may be spent.

I don't mean to be obtuse but so far the Blood/Fire points have been earned by characters and our house total is just the sum of what the characters have earned.
Apologies if I've misunderstood something.

The way I believe it works (Father can confirm/correct) is that when someone gains a Fire/Blood point, it increases *both* that character's *personal* F/B pool, *and* the House's, which may be spent independently.
Personal points may be spent as you will, House points require fellow House-PC approval, but spending one doesn't impact the other.

Happy to spend blood points if allowed by my fellow house mates and the rules, otherwise happy with:
A) "Characters may attempt to recruit these knights to other houses or purposes, some of the bonuses (or penalties) may not apply in this case." - Making this more of a "Roland Cordwayner" thing that a House Starling thing, although I'd prefer to support House Starling. B) Just rescinding the Blood and Glory spend if there's no route to spending a Blood point here (which I thinks leaves the field pretty clear for House Starkwood, as they can spend Blood points and don't suffer a penalty dice here, unlike House Levalle).

Trystane doesn't officially count as a blood supporter, so his rolls may possibly be low enough that a tie-breaker reroll would be required for the grand prize.
Going for a somewhat up in the air cause would need a re-roll against heftier TN's.

A sworn sword of a Blood House who has given at least one Blood-aligned speech and has defended the King in open discussion doesn’t count as Blood?
I expect there's some sort of reasoning behind that decision, but I'm just surprised and a bit confused.

Crafty compromise option - Roland has a go at whatever the adjuster TN is but doesn’t spend blood, and maybe glory. Or Roland just rolls on standard options for narrative purposes. He’s had various story beats and this gives Trystane a great splash in to the game, as much as I like succeeding in events!

Official Blood/Fire is tracked with character records now, there's two avenues, one being through specific event choices (typically with the text "marks you as supporter of that faction") , the other being through the rumor system. You can be leaning one way or the other, publicly or not, but the "publicly known" part is sort of "everyone knows".
There's a few options for Roland: 1. Recruit to Starling as normal. (The only option which allows Starling influence to apply), might work on these knights (and Starlings) separately for other ideas. 2. Use personal blood point to recruit knights to take service with NPC lords who will permit them to leave that service to join Roland should he become Lord Cordwayner. 3. As above, but also have those knights be available for participation in any confrontation to facilitate such changes (TN 15). 4. Recruit followers of the specific cause of facilitating change at Hammerhaal (TN 21).

Option 2 taken as noted in reroll, thanks and appreciate the "Yes, but..." attitude being taken here.
With hindsight, clearly should take take one of the other options!

Getting this out here: 2 House Blood points spent getting Ser Symon betrothed to a Rowan niece. IF Aerion ignores my IC warnings about the match (which is purely a GM call), 5 House Blood points getting Ser Aerion betrothed to Lady Victaria Rhysling, since the house is looking for allies, and doesn't much care if some quitter woman thinks he won't be *happy* in that marriage. Won't be going forward with the betrothal after the conclusion of Aerion's scene with Leana from Phase 1.

Blackfyre Bros are going to spend their 3 communal points to Sway Lord Alekyne Tarly to Fire.
