Rules Q&A
- Q: An effect is anything, other than a cost, that creates a card or other thing in the game, changes the characteristics or state of a card, stat or other thing in the game, adds restrictions or permissions to the game’s procedures, or creates a new instance of a game procedure.
A: Since traits do produce effects, and Horu's trait changes the characteristic of a stat (the ability to contribute Force), Deep Roots will negate the effects of his trait, allowing him to contribute his 8F to his Army's Force total even if there are other units there.
Exactly how awesome that is might be subject to some discussion however. Ben Higgins, "Deep Roots + Hida Horu = Awesome?", 6 Sep 2012
