Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "Master Smith 8G Retainer. Bow the Master Smith to produce 3 Gold. Limited: Bow the Master Smith. Put a +2F/+2C Weapon token on any one Personality. No Personality can have more than one Weapon token at a time. The token is a Weapon and an Item." [MRP, Honor Bound] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 83
- Clarified: the weapon token is also an Item. Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 12
- Erratum: Changed: Personalities may now have no more than one Weapon token, not Master Smith token. Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 12
- Erratum: Clarified: the weapon token is also an Item. Changed: Personalities may Legend of the Five Rings FAQ, Version 3.4 & errata, June 1997, p. 25
- Q: I've got a Personality with a Master Smith weapon token. Can I bow him and another Personality to move the token between them? A: No. The Moving rules on pp. 23-24 only allow you to exchange cards, and Follower tokens are the only tokens which count as cards.

Rules Q&A
- Q: Master Smith:
"Place a +2F/+2C Weapon token on a Personality."
There is no yours, (nor any)... so, can I place this token on another player's Personality?
A: Yes. You are not attaching a card from your hand using a standard game action, so page 49 does not apply. Jeff Alexander, "post for 28 April 2003", 29 Apr 2003
