Rules Q&A

• Q: Shiraki doesn't discard the Dark Virtue, only shows it.
  A: The question was about using the same Determination for (a) its own action and (b) to pay the cost of another action. The former comes first and discards Determination, before it can be used for the latter. Zen Faulkes, "Daigotsu Shiraki with Determination", 5 Apr 2009
• Q: Does this change your answer?
  A: It made it longer. Zen Faulkes, "Daigotsu Shiraki with Determination", 5 Apr 2009
• Q: Does the new wording on Determination allow Shiraki to show a Determination to pay the cost of her Battle ability and then play that same Determination for its own effects?
  A: No.
  Order of an action:
  Announce action.
  <-- Trigger for Determination goes here.
  Target.
  Pay costs. <-- Shiraki's cost of showing a Dark Virtue goes here -- oops, it's in the discard pile. Zen Faulkes, "Daigotsu Shiraki with Determination", 5 Apr 2009
• Q: Hello,
  1. I play Doomed Intentions targetting my Daigotsu Shiraki. 2. Shiraki moves. 3. Now I must take an action printed on Shiraki.
  If I have a Dark Virtue in my hand, must I show it, and perform a ranged attack? If I do not have a Dark Virtue in my hand, must I prove this somehow to my opponent? If so, how?
  thanks, Andrew
  A: If are able to use the Battle action on Shiraki, you must.
  If you have no Dark Virtues and you say you do not, your opponent may ask a judge to confirm this.
  If you have no Dark Virtues in your hand, Shiraki's Battle Action may not be taken (inability to pay costs). Dan Jacobson, "Doomed Intentions and Daigotsu Shiraki", 1 Apr 2009
