Q: (I)f you use the (Experienced) Anvil of Despair's ability on (Diagotsu) Yajinden (Experienced 2), and assuming you have no other artisans in play, would you lose 1 Honor or 5 Honor?
A: "Use the ability on Daigotsu Yajinden" is a little vague. Is he involved in the cost or receiving the weapon?
If the former, you'd lose 5; if the latter, 1. You check the condition when the effect occurs. Zen Faulkes, "Anvil of Despair Exp + Daigotsu Yajinden Exp 2", 28 Aug 2008
Q: Hello,
I've a question about this two personalities: Vik-sch'tok and Daigotsu Yajinden (Experienced 2). The Ratling say that I can pay 2 Gold to attach a +3 F Weapon Item Card in a rattling (let say himself). The Artisan (Yajinden) say that he can produce 3 gold when paying for an Item Card. So can I use Yajinden to pay for Vik-sch'tok ?
+++ Vik-sch'tok Limited: Pay 2 Gold: Create a +3F Weapon Item card and attach it to a target Ratling Personality. +++
+++ Daigotsu Yajinden (Experienced 2) Reaction: When paying for an Item card: Produce 3 Gold. +++
Thx, André.
A: No, as you are paying for an action that creates an item card, and not an actual item card. Chris Fuchs, "Vik-sch'tok + Yajinden XP 2", 13 Nov 2007
