Rules Q&A
- Q: When Asahina Tamako/Sekawa, use their ablility to throw away fate cards for gold, does the gold actually have to be spent on something, or can the player simply produce gold for no real reason, other than to empty his hand to get ring of void?
A: The Gold has to be spent on *something*. You can't just generate it to make the Emperor happy. It's quite amazing that, even when he's dead and rotting, Toturi can still manage to tax all the excess gold produced across the Empire, but hey - that's the power of the Emperor.
You can, however, overpay for something by a lot (even a 0 cost action), using Sekawa to generate the excess gold, then dropping the Ring of Void. You just have to find something to pay for. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for August 14th", 14 Aug 2001 - Q: [SNIP] Jeff A. has confirmed new Archetype Personalities are identical to the previously published Personality they're based on.
I'm going to be cruel Zen, BUT, is this via private email or something posted to the list? Can we have the quote? I specificly remember Daidoji Rekei being mentioned as an archtype
A: According to the list Paul Allen Timm sent to deathseeker.com, Rekai was NOT going to be archetyped. She was going to be herself. Here's the link:
