Rules Q&A

• Q: Yoritomo Hanayo: would the Orochi in another province be considered required targeting?
  A: Yes.

• Q: In reference to http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57619...
  The reason I ask whether it means "copy" or not is that the Lotus rulebook refers to copying when replacing names. As Orochi does not say "copy" does the follower not become self-referential?
  In other words, if I have Yoritomo Bob with the ability...
  "Bow Yoritomo Bob: Do something."
  and I copy the ability with Sam, it now says...
  "Bow Sam: Do something."
  However, if I just make the ability "the same", does it still say...
  "Bow Yoritomo Bob: Do something." or is it self-referential as if it said "copy"?
  Thanks,
  Leon

  In the context of the card, "same" just means "equal." Zen Faulkes, "Orochi sensei "same" pt 2", 29 May 2007
