- "Be on your guard, all of you," Shigetoshi said firmly. "Even after all this time, the Dark Lord's minions may still skulk through these streets.", "Digging is peasant's work," Aoiko said bitterly.
"You would trust a peasant with your grandfather's legacy?" Shigetoshi replied. - Artist

Rules Q&A
- Q: So based on akodogilador's response here.
I guess that means even though all three cards(Akodo Shigetoshi, Cavalry Officer, Daigotsu Bukaro) are worded as "target a personality", they are effectively "target your personality".
So much for EE being "premium" edition. So much for cards not being confusing for new players. Technical errata for at least Bukaro would be nice, unless the rules are going to change and suddenly he will work the way he is worded, but I won't be holding my breath on that one. Disappointing.
A: Flaming is a violation of Forum Rules. Official Warning. Zen Faulkes, "Akodo Shigetoshi", 12 Jun 2011 - Q: What happens with this scenario:
1) I use blowdarts/takuma/whatever to create 4 poison tokens on Akodo Shigetoshi Exp2... (so now he's at 1 force) 2) My opponent attacks with Akodo Shigetoshi Exp2 then I defend with Sogetsu... 3) My first action as a defender: I use Sogetsu's ability and set Akodo Shigetoshi Exp2's force to 0... (would that mean he has -4 force (minimum 0) after reasserting the tokens' penalties?) 4) His first action as the attacker: He uses Akodo Shigetoshi Exp2's Tactician trait and discards a 4 focus value card to pump his force...
What happens then? (What would Akodo Shigetoshi Exp2's force be?)
We have our arguments here but we need to verify which one's the right one... Problems about reasserting the poison tokens' penalties... and sequence of actions...etc...
A: Setting stats to a value: To set a stat to a value, give it the smallest possible appropriate bonus or penalty such that it reaches that value.
If Akodo Shigetoshi has 1f because of penalties, the smallest appropriate penalty to reduce his force to 0 is 1: after Sogetsu's action resolves his force is 5 + (4 * -1) - 1 = 0f. After Shigetoshi "Tacticians a 4", his force is 5 + (4 * -1) - 1 + 4 = 4f. Alex Jones, "Shosuro Sogetsu, Poison Tokens & Force Bonuses/Tactizing", 3 Nov 2009 - Q: Is akodo shigetoshis action considered printed on him for using doomed intentions.
A: No. It's a trait. Zen Faulkes, "Akodo Shigetoshi and Doomed Intentions", 16 Jan 2008 - Q: Am I correct in presuming that Akodo Shigetoshi experienced does not in reality give himself the Ability in his trait while he is not in play?
A: http://rules.l5r.com/Card_features#Traits: "While their card is out of play, continuous traits affect the card they are on(.)" Zen Faulkes, "Re: Akodo Shigetoshi Clarification", 30 Sep 2007
