Rules Q&A
- Q: Honor Is My Blade 0G 1Fo * Battle: Target one of your Personalities and an opposing Personality with more Chi and less printed Personal Honor. Switch the Forces of these two Personalities
Q1)Does the "printed" in "less printed Personal Honor" refer to the opposing personality only or to both personalities?
A: Both. "Less Personal Honor" means his (Personal Honor) is less than mine (Personal Honor). "Less printed Personal Honor" means his (printed Personal Honor) is less than mine (printed Personal Honor). If the card were comparing two different values, it couldn't just say "less". Jeff Alexander, "post for 7 April 2003", 9 Apr 2003 - Q: 2) Togashi Mitsu is attacking me, with 5 fire tokens, I defend with Akodo Tadenori and play Honor is My Blade. Does Tadenori gain 7 force or 2, likewise does Mitsu lose 7 or 2?
A: You switch their total Forces. Before the card, Mitsu is 7F and Tadenori is 0F. After it, Mitsu would be 0 and Tadenori would be 7. [GE p. 32] Jeff Alexander, "post for 3 April 2003", 4 Apr 2003
