Rules Q&A

• Q: A player asked me what would be the result of the following...
  Bob is running Kyuden Doji. He attaches Armor of Shadows to Crane Bobby. He then plays For The Empire on Bobby and Fred's samurai. As a reaction, Bob bows non-shadowlands samurai Bobbi to take Bobby's place. Bobbi wins (so Fred's samurai dies). So...
  a) Bobby gains +1/+1 permanently. OR b) Bobbi gains +1 personal honor and Bob gets 3 honor. OR c) No other benefit is gained. OR d) Leon's not leaving so we're going to create a new list and not tell him where it is.
  A: c. Only if the winner of the duel is one of the Personalities originally targeted are the appropriate rewards gained.
  I'm not impressed, Leon. As has been pointed out, this was asked and answered a month ago. Or are you testing to see if you can get a different answer? Jeff Alexander, "post for 7 April 2003", 9 Apr 2003
• Q: It takes 4 cards in your deck with the Shadowlands trait to make your deck fully Shadowlands Corrupt.
  Because The Porcelain Mask of Fu Leng and the Armor of Shadows (Exp.) both make another card (their attached personality) Shadowlands as well, would having these two cards in the deck count as corrupt since they really make 4 Shadowlands cards in practice?
  A: That's up to the story team member who hears about it. Jeff Alexander, "post for 25 June 2002", 26 Jun 2002
