alcat101 Taking the pin at any point, regardless of if it's in the first or subsequent visits, incurs a penalty during The Mother's initial RP calculation, and a slightly larger one if Altina is not wearing it at that point. It's possible, and in fact not terribly difficult, to hit all RP checks with her so far if you took the Pin, so it's more or less a matter of speculation on if it will cause problems down the line. The Pin itself is one of many general Status Immunity accessories, so it is useful, but not irreplaceable.
