Rules Q&A
- Q: So, if I have 2 or 3 Gunso on a personality, will they give each other the force bonus?
A: Yes. [card text] They are each a Follower in the other's unit. Jeff Alexander, "rules for 22 March 2004", 23 Mar 2004 - Q: If I toss a Gunso on a Mantis personality, and then target it with Dojo Raiden which of the following occurs?
1) Gunso Gives +2F to all followers and all followers will lose -0F if the Gunso dies.
2) Gunso Gives +2F to all followers and all followers will lose -2F if the Gunso dies.
A: #1. "Numeral" is a rigidly-defined game term in L5R. It includes any leading sign. [GE Glossary, p. 74] When you increase "-1" by 1, you get "0". Jeff Alexander, "post for 19 February 2003", 21 Feb 2003
