Rules Q&A

• Q: Hi,
  I wasn't sure if this was okay so I just wanted to check and be sure
  1) I have used an "Extending Influence" and it is in my discard pile 2) I have Gyoken XP2 out and a Shugenja
  Can I use Gyoken XP2 ability to re-attach Extending Influence from the discard pile to my Shugenja therefore allowing me to use it multiple times?
  Also, Extending Influence can copy unique personalities abilities since it doesn't have any restrictions on the cards regarding that correct?
  Cheers!
  Extending Influence: After this card enters play, if this Shugenja is Air: Each other player loses 1 Honor. Open: Destroy this card and target a Personality: The performing Shugenja copies one of the target's abilities which does not copy abilities.
  Daigotsu Gyoken: Battle/Open: Target your Personality and a non-Unique attachment in any player's discard pile: Attach it to the Personality, paying all costs and ignoring Honor Requirements. You may take an additional action appropriate to this phase.
  A: You can reattach an Extending Influence that you've already used, but you can't use it again if it's one that you've used this turn, as the Extending Influence never went facedown and out of play.
  It can certainly copy abilities on Unique cards however, except those that say they will not be copied. Jon Palmer, "Extending Influence + Gyoken XP2", 19 Jun 2013
• Q: If I target my Kuronada with the Topaz Championship. I then in the dynasty phase overlay him with Kuronada exp2 for free (skipping exp). (feel free to make it "Daigotsu Gyoken" and "Daigotsu Gyoken exp2" to make it a non-legacy question. I don't play with spider clan personalities )
  from topaz championship
  from rules
  A: Does the resulting kuronada exp 2. card get the force and chi bonus (applied to his base force and chi)?
  B: Does he get the kuronada exp 2 get the granted trait 'before the first time each turn another player's card effects destroys this personality.. etc."
  C: does he get the ability to target enemy cards without attachments and destroy them? (featuring effectively 2 abilities on the resulting kuronada)
  I am confused because my understanding of the new rules would override all of the overlaid cards abilities, stats, keywords, traits, etc. (right?) But it keeps his ongoing effects, and in this case they are ongoing effects that provide stat changes, abilities, and traits. (ironically not the 'topaz champion' keyword, though I think it should) Also, is this in any way different from using 'spirit of' cards?
  A: Yes, all three of the bonuses from The Topaz Championship are ongoing effects, so the Personality would keep them if overlaid. Jon Palmer, "ongoing effects (jeweled champion event) + overlaying", 24 Apr 2012
• Q: So, upon reading the rules on exp personalities and overlaying I noticed that is say that one can only overlay during the Dynasty phase. If I use Your Clan Needs you I can't overlay an exp'd card onto another card with the same title? (for example Daigotsu Gyoken and Daigotsu Gyoken exp 3)
  A: That is correct. Your Clan Needs You CANNOT overlay a Personality in your province onto one in play.
  Overlaying outside the Dynasty Phase can only be done through a specific effect that allows it, such as Waystation of the Path or Oyo's Second Lesson. Brook Cunningham, "Overlay and Your Clan Needs you", 20 Apr 2012
