Rules Q&A
- Q: The Dark Soul Mask
Text Unique This unit does not add its Force total to its army. Battle: Bow Dark Soul Mask and this Personality to permanently move the mask onto an opposing Personality.
I am always confused by the use of 'permanently'.
A: It means "until the end of the game". It's a duration other than "until the end of the turn". That's all. Jeff Alexander, "rules for 22 March 2004", 23 Mar 2004 - Q: Does 'permanently' refer to the fact that [Dark Soul Mask] stays on past the turn or that it can't be moved off this personality for the rest of the game?
A: The former (Diamond Edition rules, pg 70). Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 10 November 2003, Part 2", 11 Nov 2003 - Q: Apologies to Zen for answering this. I thought this was a Reign of Blood preview card for some reason. (He loves answering questions. He really does.)
A: Though it does pale next to ice cream. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 10 November 2003, Part 2", 11 Nov 2003
