Rules Q&A

• Q: If Daidoji Naito overlays a harrier, say Daidoji Akagi, and is later overlayed by Daidoji Manabu, does Daidoji Manabu keep the ability granted by Daidoji Naito's trait (while overlayed) since overlayed personalities keep the abilities of the personalities they overlay?
  A: No. It's an action granted by a trait. Lotus rules, 55: "The later version’s printed stats and traits override those on the earlier version." Zen Faulkes, "Manabu and Naito", 5 Feb 2006
• Q: can they overlay a Harrier with the same (or even higher, like Daidoji Uji) experience level?
  A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Daidoji Naito and Daidoji Munabi", 4 Feb 2006
• Q: Does this mean they can overlay Followers too ?
  A: No. Zen Faulkes, "Daidoji Naito and Daidoji Munabi", 4 Feb 2006
• Q: Overlaying Daidoji Munabu and Daidoji Naito since there the same experience lvl as other harriers, do you have to pay any costs?
  A: Lotus rules, pg. 55: "If they’re more than one level removed from each other and the later version has a higher Gold cost, you must pay the difference." Zen Faulkes, "Daidoji Munabu, and Daidoji Naito", 4 Feb 2006
• Q: can they overlay followers?
  A: No. Zen Faulkes, "Daidoji Munabu, and Daidoji Naito", 4 Feb 2006
