Rules Q&A
- Q: I did some searching on Tanemono but couldn't find anything relating to this.
What happens if Tanemono uses his ability to switch his force and chi then attaches an item which gives him a Force Bonus?
Example: I use Tanemono's ability to make him now 6F/1C, my next action I attach a Wyrmbone Katana (+4F/+1C) to Tanemono, bringing him up to 10F/2C. At the end of the turn, when the ability wears off, is Tanemono's stats:
A. 2F/10Chi (1F/6C base, then Wyrmbone's F/C bonus is reversed). B. 5F/7C (standard set up, as if I attached the weapon when his ability is off).
Thanks.
A: The key to this is to remember that "switching" force and chi is simply giving a bonus and penalty to bring them to the new stats.
Tanemono starts out 1/6 Her ability is used, giving her +5F and -5C. She is now (1+5)=6F/(6-5)=1C You give her Wyrmbone Katana. She is now (1+5+4)=10F/(6-5+1)=2C At the end of the turn, the +5F/-5C effect wears off. She is now (1+4)=5F/(6+1)=7C. Jon Palmer, "Tanemono and Items", 15 Apr 2013
