Rules Q&A
- Q: Does using a Discipline cost still have the traits of the action? eg when using Diplomacy Breaks Down can yasuki nakura (pay for econ actions (with sensei pay for political actions) pay for some of the discpline cost?
A: A Discipline action adds the additional Discipline cost directly to the action when playing it out of the discard pile, so yes you can used cost-specific Gold to pay for it as you describe. Brook Cunningham, "Does Discipline have keywords?", 5 Sep 2014
