Rules Q&A
- Q: 3) Finally -- a stupid question, just to check -- attaching cards is a targeted action, yes? So, if Matsu Gohei were to attach a Bandit Gang from my hand (lose 2 honor), I could correct his behavior with an Honorable Seppuku, yes?
A: Sure looks like it. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for July 3rd", 3 Jul 2001 - Q: Assuming both events are in effect, if my opponent destroys one of my followers with 0 Gold Cost (ex. Bandit Gang), I think I can reattach it to the same personnality on my next opportunity to take a battle action.
We couldn't think of a reason for it not to be correct, but as we only recently came back into the game after a hiatus of several years, we were wondering whether we had miss something about this situation which effectively shut all the ranged attacks my opponents wanted to throw at my personnality.
A: Yes, with both Events having been resolved in a game, you could continually reattach a Follower who keeps getting destroyed, as long as you can continue to pay their entering play costs (which is not a problem with your example of Bandit Gang).
