- Erratum: Reads, "Blade of Hubris +2F/+1C 2G 4FV Weapon • Shamesword Before your End Phase ends: If this Personality assigned this turn, gain 1 Honor and give this card a +1F token; if he did not, lose 1 Honor."

Rules Q&A
- Q: Battle: Bow one of your Weapons at the current battlefield: Destroy a target Personality opposing it with no Weapons, no Armor, and Force less than the Focus Value plus Force bonus of your Weapon.
Before your End Phase ends: If this Personality assigned this turn, gain 1 Honor and permanently give this card a +1F token; if he did not, lose 1 Honor.
A: The Blade of Hubris gives itself a +1F token, making its total Force Bonus go from +2 to +3. Its focus value is 4, so the total of its Focus Value plus Force bonus would be 7. Martin Lund, "Blade of Hubris + Yarijutsu", 3 Mar 2008 - Q: Before a player gains Honor from an action or trait that targeted, came from, or was performed by one or more of his or her dishonorable Personalities, the Personality is rehonored instead of the Honor being gained.
A: The honor gain was from a trait on the Blade and had nothing to do with targeting or performing. The Personality is not restored to Honor. You gain the Honor normally. Martin Lund, "Blade of Hubris and rehonoring", 23 Jul 2007
