- Screaming without thought, the ronin cut through his opponents with a Master's touch, his wakizashi howling in his hands. Sanzo lowered his sword, amazed at the mountain of bodies that surrounded him. "The Emperor's men....," he whispered, and was afraid.

Rules Q&A
- Q: If a Lion Personality has the Tactician trait from Kenson Gakka, and then gains the real tactician trait thru other means during the battle, Moment of Brilliance, Akodo Minako with a formation in play ect., can that personality now gain force bonusesfrom their Tactician trait or does the Stronghold effect still apply?
A: I think I already answered this question today. Please folks, don't repost your questions until you check the digest for the day you actually posted your question. If that digest isn't out yet, don't repost until it does come out and you find your question has actually been missed.
Anyway, to rehash, both the Tactician Trait and restriction granted by Kenson Gakka go away if the Personality has Tactician from some other source like Moment of Brilliance, Fan of Command, or the Printed Tactician Trait after an effect that removes Tactician (Spyglass) wears off. Martin Lund, "Rules for 28 April 2004", 30 Apr 2004 - Q: If someone is using Akodo Sensei, and a personality of theirs qualifies (3 chi or higher and doesn't have Tactician already) can they play Moment of Brilliance on him or give him the Fan of Command so he can gain force bonuses?
A: Yes. If a Personality acquires the Tactician trait from somewhere besides the Sensei, the restriction against using it to gain a Force bonus no longer applies. Jeff Alexander, "Rulings for 15-16 February 2001", 19 Feb 2001
