Rules Q&A
- Q: During a discussion I was asked: "If I use Nogoten's Bow, can I use Tsuruche's arrow to make the negative chi token '-5' instead of '-2' since it is considered a ranged attack and Tsuruche's Arrow adds +3 to a ranged attack?
A: No. The size of the token's Chi penalty is not the ranged attack strength, and is not modifiable as such. This is in the archives at http://l5r.alderac.com/rulings/ . Jeff Alexander, "post for 8 Oct 2002", 9 Oct 2002
