Rules Q&A
- Q: Do you have to pay the cost of Arakan's action and the entering play costs of the follower when using Arakan's ability?
Daigotsu Arakan - exp Maho Battle/Limited, pay * gold: Equip a non-Unique Follower in your discard pile to Arakan or Zansho. Permanently give the follower Shadowlands.Undead. Lose 2 Honor.
Thanks.
Edit: In all honesty, I'm not entirely sure what * is referring to in Arakan's action. Since it doesn't state what it is. Is it just the cost of using his ability and I can just choose to not pay anything and then bring the follower in to play (paying all costs, of coarse)? Can you explain to me what the * is referring to in his ability? Thanks
A: Please note the text from the Coils of Madness rule sheet,
"Recruitment Station has the action: Battle/Open, (*), (bow) : Equip a Follower, paying 2 less Gold. This means that you target your performing Personality and a Follower in your hand, pay the Follower's cost minus two Gold and attach it to the Personality."
Translating this to the case of Arakan, this means that the * is the cost of the follower you're Equipping. Jon Palmer, "Re Re Re: Daigotsu Arakan - exp", 21 Jul 2013
