Rules Q&A

• Q: Ninja Thief reads: "Limited: Move an Item from a Personality to another Personality who can legally attach it. Lose 3 Honor." Moshi Hinome reads:"...Open: Bow Hinome to remove all Aura tokens from a Personality who has at least one and add that number of +1F/+1C Aura tokens, plus one, to another Personality."
  Jeff, I'm confused.
  Why would Moshi Hinome target first Personality at all? Both action cards are searching and targeting for X. The fact that it happens to be on personality A is merely a necessity of X being in play in the first place.
  A: Hinome has to target some aspect of the source -- otherwise, how would you know what tokens to remove? But she affects all the tokens on the source Personality. That makes that aspect of her action a general effect, and thus non-targeted. The only thing left for her to target is the Personality. Jeff Alexander, "post for 21 March 2003", 22 Mar 2003
• Q: When Moshi Hinome uses her open ability to move aura tokens from one personality to another can she move the aura tokens from a bowed personality? Basic question, does her ability target the peep or the tokens?
  A: She targets both Personalities. She cannot move tokens off or onto one of your own bowed Personalities. Jeff Alexander, "post for 10 March 2003", 11 Mar 2003
