Rules Q&A
- Q: OK, let's make things clear for me : 2-Gold cost for faction is always applicable once rigth (I mean, if I bring a personality into play multiples times a turn, I only reduce the cost once. Example : Nishiko cost 7 so 5 for a Dark Path of Shadow, but If I bring it back again later in the same turn it's still 7 so 5 for a Dark Path of Shadow)
A: Right. Jeff Alexander, "post for 2 April 2003", 4 Apr 2003 - Q: [Hidden Emperor] [Jade]
Ninjas with another clan alignment like Shoshuro Nishiko will also have Dark Path discount?
A: Yes. Just like Toturi's Army or Monk Personalities with another Clan Alignment out of their respective Strongholds. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 2 Jul 2026
