Rules Q&A

• Q: This was asked elsewhere and I cannot find the answer. Here is the question.
  I've always been a little confused about how to differentiate between clans and certain keywords. I know that any personality with "Ratling", "Naga", "Ninja", ect. listed as a keyword would be considered part of the Ratling, Naga, or Ninja clan respectively for stronghold purposes. But it gets a little confusing when certain cards ask for a "Ratling", "Naga", etc. target. For example, I'm playing a Ratling stronghold with Lady of the Forest Sensei. Would my Fox personalities also be considered a "Ratling" or "Ratling Personality" when using things like Ratling Archers or Ratling Hordes?
  A: Yes, they would. Brook Cunningham, "Legacy question: Naga and Ratlin keyword issue", 10 Jul 2013
• Q: Hi,
  In my province, there is a dishonored personality of my clan. I bring him into play, so what happens ? I trigger the Proclaim Reaction, do I get honor from that reaction (I really think so) or do I rehonor the personality ?
  A question about "clan discount". Has it became like a keyword ? Could it refer to the discount offered by a card effect (like Alliance) or a Stronghold effect (Like Kyuden Kitsune with Lady of the Forest Sensei) ?
  Proclaim Reaction : Reaction: After you bring a personality in your province with your clan aleignment into play without clan discount, if it is your turn: Gain honor equal to his base personal honor.
  Alliance (Event) Select a faction other than your own. For the rest of the game, you can bring personalities of that faction into play for 2 less Gold.
  Kyuden Kitsune (Stronghold) Fox cards cost 2 less Gold for you.
  Lady of the Forest Sensei (Sensei) Your Fox Clan Personalities have your Clan's trait.
  Thanks in advance, Regards, Rémi.
  A: You are correct with regards to Proclaim - it does not target or come from, and is not performed by, the Personality, so you would gain their base personal honor.
  Clan discount is exactly what it says it is - a modification to bringing a Personality into play. In this case, Alliance is a separate effect, as is Kyuden Kitsune's discount (which means it will stack with your Fox Clan * Yoritomo's Alliance Personalities). If you have non-YA Fox Clan Personalities with Lady of the Forest Sensei they will also get both the -2 cost from the stronghold and the -2 cost from Clan discount.

• Q: Lady of the Forest Sensei + Shiro Usagi: If I am running the pair together in a Legacy/Open event, do my Fox Clan Personalities gain the Hare Clan trait?
  A: Tentatively, Shiro Usagi cannot use "all clans" sensei (which effectively means, "No sensei," I suppose). When printed, "clan" meant "faction as specified in the rulebook," and Hare was not and is not a faction. Zen Faulkes, "Shiro Usagi + Lady of the Forest Sensei", 12 Jun 2007
