Rules Q&A
- Q: Two part question: concerning gold costs. If I have Shiryo no Yogo in play, my ninja cost 2 less gold. This is worded differently than Furumaro. Does this mean that cards checking for gold cost like Imperial census will bow an 8 gold personality now, because their gold cost is boxable?
A: Yes. The Gold Cost reduction from Shiryo no Yogo is continuous, not just when paying for the Ninja to enter play. Brook Cunningham, "Legacy ninjutsu gold cost", 17 Apr 2010 - Q: Also, if this is the case, and I am playing Shiro no Soshi: I have a ninja with 8 gold cost. Normally his ninjitsu cost would be 2. If Shiryo no Yogo reduces his cost by 2, would his ninjutsu cost be 0 because his gold cost is 6?
A: No. Shiro no Soshi calculates the Ninjutsu value it grants based upon a Ninja Personality's PRINTED (read: base) Gold Cost. Brook Cunningham, "Legacy ninjutsu gold cost", 17 Apr 2010
