Rules Q&A

• Q: Greetings! Since moksha patam creates force bonus tokens via a trait, can't the force bonus granted by it be negated by creating order or warded premises?

  Thanks.
  A: That is correct. The force bonus is not from an action and therefore anything that negates force bonuses from actions will not negate it. Jon Palmer, "Moksha Patam Force Bonus Token", 13 Mar 2013
• Q: I've got a question about Moksha Patam's trait and the Plains of the Maiden trait together. If I attack with people equipped with Moksha Patams and I'm able to destroy an enemy army and raise a province in the same battle, will the honor gains calculated at resolution be considered 3 separate gains for the purpose of the Moksha's trait? So basically anyone holding a Moksha would gain 3 force after resolution in that scenario? I do know that Plains of the Maiden and destroying enemy cards/province at resolution counts as 3 honor gains but wanted clarification if your units only gain 1 force, 2 force or 3 force after resolution in that scenario.
  A: Moksha Patam's trait says "After an action resolves," so it won't trigger after the honour gain from Plains of the Maiden's trait, nor after the honour gain in the Rulebook for destroying an enemy army in battle resolution. Alex Jones, "Moksha Patam and Plains of the Maiden", 15 Jan 2013
