Rules Q&A
- Q: Off of this:http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=108198
Would it be legal to announce the Ring of Air action, bow Yoshinko to pay for the RoA action (having all 3 gold left over in your pool), and use that action to straighten her?
Then could you, as your next action, use her again, with the 3 in your pool, to buy the Tiger Claw?
A: As #2 above, Ring of Air's action has no Gold Cost, so you can't trigger a Gold-producing trait with it. Brook Cunningham, "Yashinko xp with Ring of Air", 8 May 2014 - Q: Question, if all my holdings are bowed and I have Yoritomo Yashinko xp and Ring of Air in play, can I play Tiger Claw by bowing Yashinko for 3 gold, then unbowing her with Ring of Air and bowing her for another 3 gold to pay for Tiger Claw?
A: No, sorry; you have to completely finish paying for, then resolving, the Equip action for the Tiger Claw before you can take the Ring of Air's Open action.
Now, if you had an attachment to Equip, or action to take, for 1G before Equipping the Claw, you could pay for that with Yashinko, leaving 2G left over, then take the Ring of Air's action, THEN use the 2 leftover Gold plus another bowing of Yashinko for the 5G T-Claw.
