Rules Q&A

• Q: For reference, his ability reads Battle: Ranged 4 Attack. If the Ranged Attack destroyed a card, its owner loses 1 Honor.
  Do created followers (e.g. those from Kyuden Hida XP, Nakanu Technique, Grateful Reward, etc.) count for the honor loss portion of Bayushi Higaonna's ability? I would think they do but I'm not sure because although they can be represented by cards, I don't know if they are cards as such. I'm probably overthinking it. Thanks much!
  A: Per the CR on Created Cards, any effect that creates a card type creates a card of that type. So yes, Higoanna would trigger there. Jon Palmer, "Bayushi Higaonna's ability and created followers", 8 Aug 2012
• Q: in response to viewtopic.php?f=59&t=91765 (i felt that the answer was not clear)
  1)declare an attack 2)assign 3 units to attack the same province 3)react with Kyuden Hida (Experienced) and create up to 3 scout followers 4)bow Imperial artificers to pay an extra 2 gold for one of the followers. draw a card and discard a card. 5)start battle etc.

  if not please specify.
  A: From the quoted bit of the FAQ (http://rules.l5r.com/CE_FAQ#Can_I_draw_ ... s_token.3F): "(Y)ou are allowed to overpay the token Follower’s zero gold cost using Imperial Artificer and gain its benefits that way."
  Would appreciate any input on how to make that clearer. Zen Faulkes, "Kyuden Hida Experienced+Imperial Artificer", 20 Jun 2011
• Q: Can you react with Imperial Artificer in reference to Kyuden Hida's reaction, to let you draw and then dicard a card.
  A: Not exactly.

• Q: Hi,
  I just wanted to clarify this...is it possible for one of the Kyuden Hida XP stronghold-created followers (as they are Scouts) to meet the performing requirements of Hunting the Daughter?
  Thanks in advance.
  A: Hunting the Daughter just says, "your performing unbowed Scout." It does not require that the Scout be a Personality, so it could indeed be a Follower. Alex Jones, "Kyuden Hida XP and Hunting the Daughter", 20 May 2011
