Rules Q&A
- Q: After seeing this question a couple of other questions occurred to me, whose answers should be obvious but for some reason I have some sort of niggling doubt.
I have a personality, Doji X, who has a Regal Furisode attached. Their PH is 3+1. If they are dishonoured their PH will become 0.
1. If I attach another Regal Furisode is Doji X's PH now 1? 2. If Doji X now rehonours is their PH 3, 4 or 5? 3. Is wearing two Regal Furisodes a social faux pas? Does this answer change if I ensure that the two have fabrics that are dyed in complementary colours?
EDIT:
Is it the wording of Shosuro Chizuru ("The target has a maximum Personal Honour of 4") that makes the difference in the other question?
A: When calculating stats, do all the +/- first, then apply minimums or maximums.
1. 3 + 1 + 1 (max 0) is 0. 2. 3 + 1 + 1 is 5. 3. Depends on the Clan. Doji X can not only get away with it, but styles will most likely change to require two Furisodes by the time of Winter Court.
Chizuru is specifically affecting the "apply minimum or maximum" step. Cards override the rulebook, per the Cardinal Rules, so Chizuru's "max 4" will override the rulebook's "max 0". Jon Palmer, "Personal Honour", 4 Jul 2014 - Q: The questioned came up tonight, will Shosuro Chizuru raise the Personal Honour of a Dishonoured Personality?
Chizuru
OPEN: Discard a card to give a target personality a Force or Personal Honour bonus Equal to the focus Value. The target has a maximum Personal Honour of 4
Rulebook
A Dishonourable Personality has a maximum of 0 Personal Honour
The question was, because both card and rulebook mention a Maximum Personal Honour, does the card overrule the rule book or does the Rulebook rule supreme?
A: In the Comprehensive Rules, Cardinal Rule #1 does state that card effects trump rulebook effects.
Shosuro Chizuru will allow a Dishonored Personality to have a positive PH state. Ben Higgins, "Shosuro Chizuru", 3 Jul 2014
