Rules Q&A

• Q: Is there a reason Shigeyuki's ability doesn't say target an enemy personality? All other challenges/duels in Celestial and Emperor make it clear that the target can't be your own personality.
  Battle: Target a Personality with lower Personal Honor than Shigeyuki's Chi: Shigeyuki challenges him. He may refuse; if he does, move him home. Both Personalities use their Personal Honor as their duel stat. Bow the duel's loser's unit.
  A: Per the CR on Challenges, challenges must occur between Personalities controlled by different players. It's redundant on other cards where it specifies another player. Jon Palmer, "Doji Shigeyuki", 12 Nov 2012

  Doji Shigeyuki: Battle: Target a Personality with lower Personal Honor than Shigeyuki's Chi: Shigeyuki challenges him. He may refuse; if he does, move him home. Both Personalities use their Personal Honor as their duel stat. Bow the duel's loser's unit. http://rules.l5r.com/EE_Challenges_and_duels "Effects may specify a different stat to be used by one or both Personalities in the duel. A "duel of Force," for example, is a duel in which both Personalities use Force instead of Chi. "
  If Shigeyuki challenges my berserker, and I delay the effects, am I correct in assuming that the effect that makes my personality use his personal honor as his duel stat is delayed, since that is an effect on my berserker? (Leading to a duel of Shigeyuki's personal honor vs my berserker's chi)
  Also, I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but Shigeyuki doesn't have a duration on that effect and nowhere in the rules wiki can I find anything that limits the duration of an effect that changes duel stat, is my assumption correct that (Shigeyuki/target) use their personal honor as their duel stat for any further duels that turn?
  A: "Both Personalities use their Personal Honor as their duel stat" is not an ongoing effect on either Personality, it is a change to the resolution procedure of that one duel. Alex Jones, "re: Halls of the Forgotten and Duels", 14 Feb 2012
• Q: with the new ruling added to duel stat today august 2nd, just had a small question.
  was that rule newly created or was it based on something that was in the rules before, just harder to find?
  A: It is a new rule, added on Tuesday. Alex Jones, "Doji Shigeyuki vs Hida Hachimoto", 3 Aug 2011
• Q: Doji Shigeyuki's effect states both personalities involved in his duel use their personal honour as their duel stat, while Hida Hachimoto's trait specifies he uses his base force as his duel stat. Which of the two would override the other?
  A: Both card effects are trying to change the duel stat, so there is a timing conflict. Active player chooses (http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Timing#Timing_sequence). Zen Faulkes, "Doji Shigeyuki vs Hida Hachimoto", 12 Jun 2011
