Rules Q&A
- Q: I have a personality that has been dishonored and has a unbowed ancient sword attatched. My opponent issues me a duel. As a reaction I bow my ancient sword to gain 2 honor. Am I able to rehonor my personality instead of gaining the 2 honor?
A: Not only can you, but if you choose to use the Reaction, you must rehonor the Personality. Zen Faulkes, "Ancient Sword, dishonored personality", 11 Apr 2005 - Q: Ancient Sword says:
This card has +2F for every full 10 points of Family Honor you have.
Can your family honor be a negative amount to gain the bonus?
If you had -10 or lower honor would the Sword have +2F?
A: No. Zen Faulkes, "Ancient Sword and Family honor", 17 Mar 2005
