Rules Q&A
- Q: A strange combo someone played against me, but I'm not sure it works.
Hoshi Wayan : Unaligned Tattooed Monk Experienced 2 Unique Limited: Once per turn, place a Tattoo token on Wayan. Reaction: After Wayan gains a Force bonus, destroy a Tattoo token on him to raise the bonus by his Personal Honor.
My opponent put one token on Hoshi Wayan, then played Stand As Stone on him, choosing a pernanent bonus of +2 force, and then reacted to that bonus to increase it by his personal honor (2).
I think this is ok until there, but I am not sure how long the bonus stays increased.
So, will Wayan have +4 Force forever, or +4 force until end of turn, and then +2 Force only ?
A: +4 until the end of the turn, then +2 thereafter. Jeff Alexander, "post for 2 May 2003", 3 May 2003 - Q: Hoshi Wayan exp2 has been a personality of much debate in our playing circle given the potential for grossly abusing his ability. Does his ability to raise force bonuses that he receives to be increased by his personal honor included permanent bonus such the Stand As Stone card that gives a Tattooed pip a permanent +2 Force Bonus to make it +4 on Wayan. And what about Dragon Tattoo, does it give him 3: +3/+1 tokens? When Kirin shrine enters play, is that seen as a force bonus? Or are we completely off in our thinking?
A: Wayan only increases the bonus until the end of the turn. Then the bonus reverts to its original amount. Jeff Alexander, "post for 28 February 2002", 1 Mar 2002 - Q: I have a question regarding a card from A Perfect Cut, "Stand as Stone"-
Stand as Stone 1F 3G Limited: Give a tattooed personality either +2F,+2C,or +2PH permanently.
I don't suppose one could target a face-up personality in a province with this card, could one?
A: All effects are limited to targeting cards in play unless a card or rule says otherwise. Jeff Alexander, "replies to 20 September 2001", 21 Sep 2001
