Rules Q&A
- Q: Kakita Chiyeko says Reaction: Straighten Chiyeko before she issues or recieves a challange. Bow Chiyeko after the duel ends. Let us say I loaded up Kakita Chiyeko with Judgement, an Inkyo, and Atarsi's Armor. I decided to double chi her. Theoretically, if my opponent is completly dishonored..say from imperial funeral. Could, I in theory challange each of my opponents personalities, during that turn, assuming I won each of those duels, and kill off my opponents entire personality base?
A: Yes. Jeff Alexander, "post for 16 May 2003", 21 May 2003 - Q: Does the Inkyo have a 2 chi or +2?
A: "+2", by errata. Jeff Alexander, "post for 1 May 2002", 2 May 2002 - Q: ie, will Inkyo and Temple Guard get the +3 bonus for defending at a Temple of the New Tao? They should also count for Holy Home Village, right?
A: Absolutely. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for July 3rd", 3 Jul 2001
