Rules Q&A
- Q: I just had a couple questions regarding what happens in certain situations with Solitary Engagement. The card itself reads: Battle: Send home one of your units and one opposing unit. Your Personality challenges the other Personality to a duel.
1) I was wondering what exactly happens when you do this to Snak, the KYD 6 gold rat that cant be challenged. "Snak may not be challenged while controlled by a Ratling player." ex. Snak is attacking one of my provinces, i defend with a Hoshi Yoson and play Solitary Engagement, what happens?
A: You send home both Personalities, and then try to issue a challenge, but Snak's trait prevents it. The action is done resolving. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for August 8th, 2003", 8 Aug 2003 - Q: Does Yoson grant 3 honor gain from duels that do not have any honor gains, or only plus 3 honor to duels with a printed honor gain?
A: "3 more honor than its normal results."
If its normal results included no honor, then its modified results will include 3 honor.
It isn't quite the same thing as saying, "Increase the honor gain from a duel by 3," which would require there to actually be an honor gain first to subsequently increase. Martin Lund, "Hoshi Yoson question", 11 Apr 2005
