Rules Q&A

• Q: ok so that means Sandayu gets full bonuis while Noboru ring count is -4 comparing to what Sandayu got in an example I posted cause they are all monks that are attacking
  A: It's too small for me to read which of those guys are Monks, but do Sandayu's battle first or else some of the other guys will not be attacking anymore. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 22 Oct 2025
• Q: want to resolve battles from left to right, so will Noboru trait boomp upthe number of Rings for Sandayu ability? and how many rings will I have on 2nd battlefield with Noboru
  A: When his action is counting "Rings you control" it will also count all "attacking Monk Personalities you control". So, as long as you control them, they are attacking, and Monks and Personalities, they count. Doesn't matter which battlefield they're at as long as they haven't gone home (because they're no longer attacking if they're not in an attacking army).

• Q: Its about Togashi Noboru trait and Sandayu battle action Togashi Noboru Sandayu
  A: Sandayu's straightening is a trait, not an action. It cannot straighten a Monk. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 22 Oct 2025
