Rules Q&A
- Q: Destiny Has No Secrets
A: Nope. It's a blatant speed military card. It's a free +2F with no real downside. Jeff Alexander, "post for 6 May 2002", 7 May 2002 - Q: If a Samurai with 1 or 2 Chi is targeted by Wounded in Battle, then subsequently in the same battle receives a bonus to Chi from another effect, such as Destiny Has No Secrets or being in a battle resolution with an active Today We Die effect, would they die?
My reading is no, since the "Chi Death Rule" is a continuous effect applied by the rulebook, and the bonuses would raise the Samurai's Chi back above 0. The case of Today We Die is based on the order of battle (Ivory Comprehensive Rules, p. 39), with resolution (step iii) coming before the battle ends (step iv), and therefore a token added "after resolution" being added before "the battle ends".
Do I have these correct?
A: Your reading is correct. Once the Chi Death prevention effect wears off, if the Personality has a Chi value of 1 or more, they will not die. Ben Higgins, "Wounded in Battle, samurai, and bonuses to Chi", 2 Dec 2014
