Rules Q&A
- Q: Are the (potential) Honor losses from Uncovered Plans and A Growing Rift considered seperate losses?
If I announce A Growing Rift and interrupt with Yogo Honami's printed ability; does my opponent:
1: lose 2 honor per dishonorable personality targeted or 2: lose 1 honor per dishonorable personality targeted plus 1 if any honor is lost?
Does the honor loss from Uncovered Plans work the same way, or differently?
A: The Comprehensive Rules has an entry covering "For each": The term “for each”, such as “Gain 1 Honor for each Samurai you control,” creates a single effect rather than numerous separate effects. In this instance, a player controlling 3 Samurai would gain 3 Honor at once, not 1 Honor three separate times.
Yogo Honami will increase the total honour loss from either card's action by just 1. Alex Jones, "Multiple Honor losses", 17 Nov 2014 - Q: Hello, I had a question about the following scenario
I have one personality with an Oriole Imperial Vanguard and one personality without it. Both are targeted by A Growing Rift.
Does the negation on one of the guys negate the whole action, or does the negation basically not matter because the personality w/o OIV still can't attack with that guy. I'm assuming the entire action is negated because OIV says, "negates remaining effects."
Cheers!
Oriole Imperial Vanguard: After the first time each phase a Political action targets this Personality, negate its remaining effects. Growing Rift: Political Open: Target two Personalities controlled by the same player. They may not attack in the same army (this turn).
A: The effect preventing them from attacking together happens after the targeting, so Oriole Imperial Vanguard will negate the entirety of it. Jon Palmer, "A Growing Rift + Oriole Imperial Vanguard", 18 Aug 2014
