Rules Q&A
- Q: If a personality who has performed A Cleansing Breath tries to bow another personality and that personality reacts with Know no Fear, what happens?
A: In the absence of any other effect, the other Personality will not bow. A Cleansing Breath ensures that its target can perform actions: it does not ensure that the effects of those actions can't be negated.
A Cleansing Breath negates, for example, the effects of Daigotsu Hotako's action.
If you want to ensure the other Personality bows, you want something like Inexorable, or Tamori Takeshi. Alex Jones, "A Cleansing Breath and Know no Fear", 26 Feb 2013
