Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "Otaku Kamoko 3F/2C 4HR 7G 3PH Unicorn Clan Battle Maiden. Cavalry Samurai. Followers attaching to Kamoko must be Cavalry. Kamoko gains +1F while attacking." [MRP, Soul of the Empire] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 119
- Erratum: Changed: her +1F bonus when attacking is now a trait, not a Reaction. Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 19
- Q: Let's say I overlay the first Experienced Otaku Kamoko over the original. Does she get +2F while attacking? A: No. When you overlay, only abilities -- defined as Limited/Open/ Battle/Reaction effects on p. 31 -- are retained by the new card. All original printed stats and traits are lost. The regular Kamoko's "1F bonus when attacking" doesn't have an action type keyword, so it's a trait and doesn't carry over. (Matsu Gohei works the same way.) Legend of the Five Rings FAQ, Version 3.6.2, May 1998, p. 15
- Q: Can Otaku Kamoko attach any of the Unicorn Clan Ancestors? She says she can't have infantry Followers, and none of the Ancestors have the Cavalry trait. But the rulebook says Ancestors don't act like real Followers most of the time. What's the answer? A: Kamoko cannot attach them. Although Ancestors do break a lot of the Follower rules, attachment restrictions aren't one of them. Ancestors may not change the Cavalry status of their unit, but they are not Cavalry themselves, and Kamoko will not attach infantry. Legend of the Five Rings FAQ, Version 3.4 & errata, June 1997, p. 13
- Q: What if I put Mounts on her first? A: It won't help. Mounts affect Followers, so they won't affect Ancestors. The Imperial Herald, Vol. 2, No. 2 (Issue 6), p. 9
Rules Q&A
- Q: There is an "Utaku" family. It and the "Otaku" family are equivalent. I don't know what you mean about the Togashi family being special in the past. rules
Utaku and Otaku are equivalent even in the case of Otaku Kamoko? :)
A: Yes. Why? Jeff Alexander, "post for 12 December 2002", 13 Dec 2002 - Q: Can I play Shiryo no Shinjo on Otaku Kamoko?
A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 8 August 2001", 10 Aug 2001
