I've become aware that I've informed several of you incorrectly on the matter of advisors.
You don't need to use the character action of an aa for an advisor action, your court includes generic advisors (hence the reason it is a court action).
IF you do use an aa for an advisor action, the aa acts in support of said action and may give a bonus or penalty to the DAC (depending on how knowledgeable the character is on the subject).
