Rules Q&A
- Q: Can Matsu Masutaro attach an ancestor with an honor requirement above 1?
A: Yes. Ancestors are not Followers (Gold Edition rulebook, pg. 2). Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 16 September 2003, Part 2", 17 Sep 2003 - Q: When I bring Matsu Masutaro into play he creates an honorloss, can I react with the Code of Bushido to negate that honor loss?
A: No. Bringing a Personality into play is not an example of the Personality "taking an action, or creating an optional effect". Jeff Alexander, "post for 18 November 2002", 19 Nov 2002
