Rulings
- Bowed cards provide their full Force because Musubi refers to "Personality," not "unit," Force. Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 26
- May target any appropriate Personality, not just your own. [Reversal, JA, email, 30 August 2000] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 26
- Is not targetted, even if there are multiple opposing Personalities tied for highest Force, since all that matters is the number. [DW, personal correspondence, 12/9/98] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 43
Rules Q&A
- Q: This brings up the question of whether Musubi is legal as well? Are there any other cards that give force bonuses to tacticians without being the standard tactician bonus?
A: I'm going to say that Musubi is legal, because they don't get the force bonus right when they use their Tactician trait. It does use the trait, and it does (usually) give a force bonus, but those two things happpen far enough away from each other that I think Musubi should be okay.
