Rules Q&A
- Q: My opponent has a dishonored Nimuro experience. I have a Soshi Angai with Force of Will. When Nimuro implodes on himself from Force of Will does he lose the honor equal to his Chi which is now his personal honor or is it his printed personal honor?
A: Gold Edition rulebook, pg. 61. Printed. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 26 September 2003", 27 Sep 2003 - Q: 2) Shiba Tsukune (inexperienced, inexplicably in Gold) challenges Soshi Angai to a duel. The former Shosuro Techniques going in. Does the 3C bonus happen before the Technique, making the Technique redundant, or afterwards, making it useful?
A: These are Reactions, so they cannot be simultaneous. The answer depends on which gets played second, which depends on when and whether the players use them. They both have the same trigger (entering the duel), so the player to the left of the active player gets the first option of reacting or not reacting. Things go clockwise from there.
