Rules Q&A
- Q: Takuan Technique
A: Irrelevant. Though it's a samurai, Veteran Samurai is not an "Unaligned Samurai". Takuan Technique can't target it. Jeff Alexander, "post for 8 April 2002", 9 Apr 2002 - Q: Being unaligned is not a clan affiliation, so I am not sure if Oath removes the unaligned trait, or just adds your clan to it. Since there are TA unaligned, why couldnt there be other clans unaligned too? I dont have oath of fealty handy to check the wording on it.
A: By long-standing ruling, Oath of Fealty also removes the Unaligned trait. I *think* that's slated as an MRP in Gold... Jeff Alexander, "Rulings for late February 2001", 10 Mar 2001
