Rules Q&A
- Q: I am still trying to figure out with the new rulings effecting the Steel Throne and Kirin's Shrine Exp why a Toturi Army player can't bring in Toturi Army personality for full and not gain the honor. The same thing can be said for Hiruma Abun for a Spirit Player.(Both of these cards actually have text on them that the player loses honor for bring them into play as well) The ruling now says :"If you bring into play a Personality with your Faction's trait, you may either lower his or her Gold cost by 2 or add his or her Personal Honor to your Family Honor. " IF the argument on not letting in Toturi or Hiruma Abun in for full and gaining their personal honor is about tradition, then why did a traditional rule like allowing Monks or Shugenja followers to cast kihos get changed?
A: The former is a case of trying to keep something stable that doesn't need to change, but is threatened by a separate change to something else. The latter is a case of us changing something on purpose. Quite a bit of difference. Jeff Alexander, "post for 16 September 2002", 17 Sep 2002
