Rules Q&A
- Q: Temple of the Eight Guardians: do the first ability that trigger my stronghold use that trait, or can I choose to bow my shugenja and save the stronghold's traits for later?
A: "Need not" indicates that you choose when to use it. Zen Faulkes, "Temple of the Eight Guardians", 11 Jul 2007 - Q: I assume that since there are no abilities on Temple of the Eight Guardians that Kiyoteru Sensei doesn't remove anything from it?
A: Yes. Reese didn't really care about anything except the current arc. Alex Jones, "Oracle of the Void #rules", 25 Jan 2023
