Rules Q&A
- Q: If Mareshi is in an opposed army, he can move any of his players units to the battlefield, correct?
A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Mirumoto Mareshi Movement Clarification", 28 Feb 2008 - Q: References to the card’s title, or to a shortened form of the title in the case of Personalities, (such as, “Mareshi” as short for “Mirumoto Mareshi”), refer to the card itself. These references change in a copied ability; see Copy.
Such references by title refer only to that copy of the card, not to any other copy that might exist, unless they use wording such as “a Mirumoto Mareshi” or “a copy of Mirumoto Mareshi.”
A: Each Pekkle can trigger once per turn. No Pekkle can trigger more than once. So no matter how many times you bring the same copy of Pekkle into play in a turn, the most the one Pekkle can give you is 3 Honor. 3 Pekkles = 9 Honor.
This might seem kind of silly, but there are older L5R cards that might remove Pekkle from the game and then return it to play in the same turn. This could potentially lead to a single Pekkle entering play 3 or 4 times in a turn - and that's not something the Designers wanted to see happen - hence the "Once per turn," clause on the entering play trait.
