Rules Q&A
- Q: If you are running Hantei Naseru as your wind and take a dishonored personality with Show of Good Faith for a turn. Can you use Bane of the Anvil to take permanent control of that personality?
A: Yes. Jeff Alexander, "post for 9 May 2003", 10 May 2003 - Q: If I use Show of Good Faith to take control of someone's personality and I am using Naseru as my Wind can I use Bane of the Anvil to take permanent control of them?
A: Answered a couple of days ago. Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 17 April 2003, Part 2", 18 Apr 2003 - Q: Show of Good Faith (R Action [FOU] SG): 4G 4Fo * Political Limited: Bow one of your Courtiers to take control of another player's Personality until the end of the turn. You may not declare an attack or move cards or tokens to or from that Personality while he or she is under your control.
If you somehow gained permanent control of the opponent's character (by using Bane of the Anvil, or something else) after you use SoGF on him, can you declare attacks for the rest of the game?
A: "You may not declare an attack...while he or she is under your control." You cannot attack until the stolen Personality leaves play or leaves your control. Jeff Alexander, "post for 2 April 2003", 4 Apr 2003
