Rules Q&A
- Q: If a pep is targeted by New Emerald Champion she can benefit from the action The Emperor Returns?
A: Yes. Jeff Alexander, "rules for 26 March 2004", 29 Mar 2004 - Q: Since the bonus from New Emerald Champion is copied by the Egg of Pan Ku, does the bowing to bow the Champ part get copied as well?
A: Yes. The Egg copy gets anything permanent (card text). Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 17 December 2003, Part 2", 18 Dec 2003 - Q: The Egg of Pan'Ku copies a Personality who has the +3/+3 bonus from New Emerald Champion. The bonus is copied as well, as it's a permanent change, right?
A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 16 December 2003, Part 3", 17 Dec 2003 - Q: Again, assuming the bonus is copied: The next turn, Unexpected Strike resolves and ends New Emerald Champion. Does the Egg's Force and Chi go down, or are they unaffected?
A: Down, because the Egg is acting as an exact duplicate. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 16 December 2003, Part 3", 17 Dec 2003 - Q: 1. Can I use Shrine of the Sun (or Unexpected Strike or some other event-ender) to end the effects of a New Emerald Champion?
A: Yes. Vaughn Derderian, "Post for July 15th, 2003", 15 Jul 2003 - Q: Does the wording of New Emerald Champion indicate that the ability to bow an Emerald Champion must be given to a different player than the one whose personality received the bonus from the event, or a different player than the one whose event is resolving?
A: Different relative to the Personality. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 24 June 2002", 24 Jun 2002 - Q: If I am playing with Yodin Sensei and New Emerald Champion turns up, do I target one of my own personalities to receive +3/+3, and then does the rest of the event fail because I cannot target the other players personalities?
A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "New Emerald Champion and Yodin Sensei", 5 Jun 2007
