Rules Q&A

• Q: Greetings!
  Curious. The Rulings Archive states Crab Tattoo as an example of an action which Togashi Genshuo/Hitomi Juppun may not gain Force bonuses from. But it's not an action that gives him the bonus; it's assignment/location.
  A: Wrong. That's when the bonus begins. It was still given to him by the Action card. Mechanically, there's no difference in the source of a bonus from a card that says "give someone +1F right now" and "give someone +1F at the start of your next turn," for example. Jeff Alexander, "post for 10 May 2002", 15 May 2002
• Q: I saw the recent ruling regarding attaching items with force bonuses, in regards to Overconfidence.
  My question is: Would the same rule apply to force bonus tokens? Specifically, I'm thinking of Togashi Genshou/Hitomi Juppun with a Dragon Tattoo. Does he get the force from the tokens?
  A: Yes. Attachment actions appear to no longer give bonuses or penalties in and of themselves. Dragon Tattoo attaches tokens. What those tokens do appears to be irrelevant. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for July 27th", 27 Jul 2001
• Q: Can Hitomi Juppun be targeted and affected by Overconfidance when he attaches the Dragon Clan Sword (Celestial or otherwise)?
  A: Apparently, no. Nor can anyone else. It's the Directness Rule. The only result of attaching a weapon is that a Personality now has a weapon attached. Any Force or Chi bonuses come from the weapon, not the action of attaching it. Seems Overconfidence can't be used against someone attaching a Clan Sword after all. (And not only that, but Juppun will get Force from one, too.) Jeff Alexander, "replies to 25 June", 5 Jul 2001
• Q: 8. Hitomi Juppun Cannot gain Force bonuses from action. I give him a Dragon Tattoo, then add three tokens. This makes him 5F 6C (because it's an action). After the end of the turn, it is no longer an action, now it is tokens, so he is 8F 6C. Unless he is in a battle and in search of the Future is played, now the tokens are force bonuses again and he becomes 5F again. Huh? Or is the action only giving 3 tokens and the force increase is a side effect.
  A: The action only gives him tokens. The tokens give him a Force bonus. He's 8/6 right away. Jeff Alexander, "Rulings for 7 February 2001", 9 Feb 2001
