Rules Q&A
- Q: Shadow Play Battle:Target your Personality: Target an enemy attachment. You may transfer it to your Personality if he is a Ninja; otherwise destroy it. You may move your Personality home.
It doesn't say anything on the card about ignoring attachment restrictions when attaching cards (unlike Pokku EXP).
Does this mean that a Ninja Personality wouldn't be able to transfer and attach a follower with an honor requirement greater than the personal honor of the Ninja Personality? They could obviously still destroy it, but this came up when he tried to steal an Imperial Elite Guard with his 0 PH Ninja.
Thanks.
A: Correct.
See Glossary, Transfer: A player does not need to pay the card's costs when transferring it, but does need to meet requirements and restrictions of attachment, including restrictions on control of the card (e.g. Unique or Singular).
