Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "Shireikan 2F/0C 1HR 3G -PH 3FV Reaction: If this card is a Follower, before this Personality is destroyed: This card permanently becomes a 1F/1C Bushi Personality with 1 Personal Honor aligned with your Faction, and is no longer a Follower. It keeps its current location. Move all cards from the original Personality to this card that this card can legally attach." [MRP, Lotus Edition, 31 October 2005] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 47
- Cannot attach cards which cannot be moved, such as the Porcelain Mask or Ancestors. [DW, l5rinfo, 7/28/98] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 53
- When he becomes a Personality he stops counting as a Follower. See also Attaching and Moving Cards. Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 53
Rules Q&A
- Q: What happens if I To Do What We Must a unit with Shireikan attached?
The entire unit must be destroyed, including Shireikan, as a cost (card text). Nothing comes back.
Does this effect your answer in any way? Since Rally troops has a similar wording as Shireikan?
A: No. The wording is not similar. Rally Troops is before destruction, Shereikan when. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 4 December 2003", 5 Dec 2003 - Q: What happens if I To Do What We Must a unit with Shireikan attached?
A: The entire unit must be destroyed, including Shireikan, as a cost (card text). Nothing comes back. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 3 December 2003, Part 2", 4 Dec 2003 - Q: 4) May I ambush other player personality with a samurai with a Shireikan attached, then sepukku samurai, then use Shireikan reaction, then continue the battle with shireikan (now as personality) and then reduce the honor lose to 1 honor?
A: Everything there works except keeping Shireikan in the battle. Jeff Alexander, "post for 24 October 2001", 24 Oct 2001
