Rules Q&A

• Q: Do both personalities rehonor when Misako does her battle action?
  A: Misako and your Shugenja rehonour, but not the enemy Personality.
  See Physically marked card states, Honorable and dishonorable: There are a number of ways to rehonor a dishonorable Personality. * Before a player gains Honor from an action or trait that targeted, came from, or was performed by one or more of his or her dishonorable Personalities...

• Q: During the Limited phase I target Phoenix shugenja X with The Direct Approach, which reduces their Force to 0, thusly preventing them from performing actions. In the subsequent Attack phase, my opponent has Asako Misako at home and uses her ability, targeting the shugenja that had been previously targeted with Direct Approach. Can the Shugenja in the battle be targeted using Misako's ability?
  A: No.
  The shugenja targeted by the ability are between the colons of the ability, which means they perform the action.
  Also, "may not" means they can't be legally picked at all, rather than targeting them and the action being negated.

• Q: Regarding these two separate rulings: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=78825 viewtopic.php?f=59&t=79016
  It seems that in order for one to be correct, the other must not be correct. Can someone please explain the difference to me? Thanks
  A: The difference is that in one, the Rules Team member answering it made an error.
  The one making the mistake? That'd be me. Hi.
  Correction will be made by time you read this. Zen Faulkes, "Asako Misako + Enough Talk", 10 Sep 2009
• Q: If a player had two Enough Talk!, could he play one on each target, or would the first remove the trigger for the second?
  A: Assuming the player with the two Enough Talk! wins the first duel, the former.
  The action is still about to resolve, even though all its effects are nullified. (Fixed incorrect answer.) Zen Faulkes, "Asako Misako + Enough Talk", 9 Sep 2009
• Q: Asako Misako: I target my shugenja in the current battlefield, and my opponent plays Enough Talk. Who can he target?
  A: Either one, but just one. Zen Faulkes, "Asako Misako + Enough Talk", 9 Sep 2009
