• Q: Was something left off the Experienced Porcelain Mask of Fu Leng? It says to remove a porcelain token every turn, but doesn't say how to gain them! And what happens if I can't remove any? A: There's no misprint. That text is there solely in case you overlay the Mask over the non-Experienced version, so it still weakens over time. If you play the Experienced Mask directly, it does not get any porcelain tokens to start with. Note that the Experienced version is not destroyed when it has no tokens, so whether you overlay it or play it by itself, once there are no tokens on it, you simply stop removing them.

Rules Q&A

• Q: I have a question about this item : when it is destroy, does the shadowland personnalities only loose the +1/+1 of the mask or does they loose the +1/+1 and gain -1/-1 (the last sentence of the mask)
  A: They lose the +1/+1 and acquire a separate -1/-1. Jeff Alexander, "post for 19 May 2003", 21 May 2003
• Q: Third, though, I'd like to ask about traits sticking or leaving on an overlay. If I overlay the Porcelain Mask exp over the Porcelain Mask nonexp, I'll still remove a single +1/+1 Porcelain token each turn, right?
  A: Right. Jeff Alexander, "post for 26 November 2002", 27 Nov 2002
