• Actions granted to players by traits on Events are not “actions from Events.” Thunderous Acclaim rulesheet, p. 1

Rules Q&A

• Q: In Line with the Hira Sensei discussion: Does Hibana exp grant a Bonus to the ranged attack she receives from guidance in war?
  Relevant Hibana text: Ranged Attacks from Hibana's Spells have +1 strength. Relevant Guidance in war text: Invest 4: This Shugenja has the ability, "Battle: Ranged 3 Attack."
  It boils down to the interpretation of this sentence from the 'from' section of the CR: Effects of traits and abilities given to other cards, copied from other cards, or on created cards, come from the card they are on.
  Does that mean cards that the action is on due to the copy/given, or does the 'card they are on' refer to the card they are printed on.
  A: The Ranged Attack ability granted by Guidance in War is "on" the Shugenja, not the Spell; the Ranged Attack is "from" the Shugenja, not the Spell, so Hibana exp's trait will not give it a bonus. Alex Jones, "Hibana exp and Guidance in War", 27 Aug 2015
• Q: How does Hira Sensei work with pre-Ivory edition events? Things like Harsh Choices and the like where there's no action associated, merely the Event resolving.
  A: It doesn't/can't. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 18 May 2024
