Rules Q&A
- Q: Can In Search of the Future be used to reduce the bonuses granted by Personalities' abilities (e.g. Earth Dragon, Yoritomo Chimori etc.)?
A: No. Cards are always in the same unit as themselves, thusly all bonuses a card gives itself are exempt from In Search of the Future's effect, by the card's own text: "except bonuses from cards in the same unit."
In Search of the Future actually has its own entry in the L5R FAQ on alderac.com if you'd like further information. Martin Lund, "Rules for 7 May 2004", 9 May 2004
