Rules Q&A
- Q: The Sahara ability states "Ryudo uses his base Force as his duel stat."
a: Is there no errata on this? b. If I attach a +3+1 weapon on him, would that add +3, or +1, or neither on his duel stat? c. How would Asahina Sekawa exp 2 deal with this?
Thanks!
[Mod edit: Spelling and punctuation - ALJ]
A: Firstly, that's a trait, not an ability. Abilities are preceded by one of the action designators: Limited, Open, Battle or Reaction.
a. l5rsearch.com is not definitive. In this case, the text and images for Daigotsu Sahara and Daigotsu Ryudo are mixed up.
b. Ryudo's base force is always 5, regardless of what items he has attached. Force bonuses and penalties - from any source - only affect current Force, not base Force.
c. Ryudo doesn't change the duel to one of Force. He uses his base Force as his duel stat, even in a duel of Force or Personal Honour. Alex Jones, "Daigotsu Sahara and Daigotsu Ryudo", 5 Jul 2008
