Rules Q&A
- Q: Hello!
I was wondering if the following combo works:
1) I use "Embracing Battle" on a Paragon to give him or her Elite. 2) Another personality of mine uses "The Passing of Tradition" and targets my now new Elite Paragon to copy "Elite" permanently.
I'm under the impression that this is valid because "Elite" is a keyword, but I wasn't sure if "The Passing of Tradition" applied only to printed keywords
Embracing Battle - Limited: Choose your performing Paragon: He may assign even if bowed. Give him Elite (Elite cards contribute Force even if bowed) The Passing of Tradition - Battle/Open: Choose your performing Personality and target your Personality: The performer permanently copies a keyword from target other than Courtier, Samurai, or Shugenja.
A: This works, for the same reason as here and because Passing of Tradition doesn't specify "base keyword". Alex Jones, "Embracing Battle & The Passing of Tradition", 20 Mar 2013
