Rules Q&A
- Q: I just recently got my hands on an experienced 3 Hida Yakamo and I am a bit confused about his battle action. it says he gains a force bonus equal to twice the number of crab or naga personalities which ever is lower. now my question is what if you don't run any naga's? would he not gain any force bonus because there is nothing to double or would he get a force bonus equal to the crabs because no naga's exist. I am wondering because we have a tournament coming up and if i use his ability i know that at least two of the spazz's i play with will be jerks about the rule. the store GM said he would gain the force bonus but the players of course won't go for it. so yeah could someone please help me out with this one?
and another question about Hiruma Aki experienced, his ability says he can destroy 1 or more followers with force equal to or less than his force or gold cost. does this mean if someone is making followers that have no gold cost i can destroy them all? or no, and also do i add up their gold cost/force and then compare it to his or do i do it one at a time?
