Rules Q&A
- Q: 8.) Can I use the Akodo Map to pump the focus value of a terrain before I play it as a Tactician bonus?
A: No. Discarding a card from your hand for a Tactician force bonus is not "playing" that card. Jeff Alexander, "post for 8 April 2002", 9 Apr 2002 - Q: Akodo Map says "Bow before you play a terrain to increase all numerals on the terrain by 1, including gold cost." As an example, Break The Wave "Immediate Terrain. Each follower in this battle has -3F"
I just want to be clear, increase to me would mean that BtW would give each follower -2F. There is the possibilty some would read it as increasing in whatever direction the number currently is, so -4F. Thanks
A: "Numeral" is defined in the Glossary on page 74 as "a number written using digits...including any '+' or '-' sign". (Note that this is not what "numeral" means in the usual sense -- in L5R, something like "14" is one numeral, not two.)
"-3" is one numeral. Increase it by one and you get -2. Jeff Alexander, "post for 2 April 2002", 3 Apr 2002
