Rules Q&A
- Q: The first one is Kitsu Hayako, lets assume I invest (either one) and then I either have Kitsu Aya or Shokansuru in play... Hayako dies in battle lets say... and I go to respond to the death.
A: Ok. When you Recruit a Personality, you have the option before paying to permanently increase their Gold Cost by the Invest cost to get the Invest effect.
Let's pretend Hayako only has the (2) Invest for simplicity here. You first brought in Hayako normally, Invested her up to 6 and got your created guy. Then, she dies and you Respond to Recruit her again. You can now to choose to permanently increase her 6G cost up to 8GC and get the effect of creating a guy again, or just Recruit her for 6GC and nothing additional happens.
