Rulings
- A Follower may receive one bonus per each copy of Kenru. [Reversal, JA, email, 15 February 2001] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 107
- Each Kenru can boost each Follower once. [DW, personal email, 2/19/98] [REVERSAL] Accumulated Rulings, April 22, 1998, p. 20
- Clarified: Followers are limited to one bonus total, not one per Kenru. Legend of the Five Rings FAQ, Version 3.4 & errata, June 1997, p. 27
- Q: Some cards that give other cards permanent bonuses, like Sysh, have limits like "this can only be done once". Is that once for each booster card or once, period, for all of them? A: Once for each. Three Syshes can all train the same card separately, giving it a +3. (This is a reversal for some cards, like Kaiu Kenru.) The Imperial Herald, Issue 9, p. 10
- Q: Let's say I have several copies of Kaiu Kenru, the Crab Clan Armorer. Can one Follower gain +1F from each Armorer, or only a total +1F from Armorers, period? A: The latter. No more than one Armorer bonus per Follower, total. The Imperial Herald, Vol. 1, Issue 4, p. 9
