Rules Q&A
- Q: I got in a debate with a friend over the effect of the granted trait on Only a Shadow.
The ability to keep a personality bowed during the straiten phase can target the same personality if you've given control of multiple ninja to your opponent correct?
I appreciate the time you take to answer this.
A: If you control multiple Personalities with the trait granted by Only a Shadow, you may choose the same bowed Personality for each. Alex Jones, "Only a shadow clarification", 14 Nov 2012
