Rules Q&A
- Q: What is the result of Kageki's duel? (What happens to the winner/loser, if anything?)
"Enters play paying 4 less Gold if you are a Ratling player. Battle: Target an enemy Personality: Kageki duels him. Both Personalities use Personal Honor as their duel stat. If the target is dishonorable, the first card you focus adds its Focus Value twice when totaled during duel resolution."
A: As a general rule, any duel you see that doesn't have a stated cost for refusal and/or consequence for losing in the Oracle is unrefusable or fatal, respectively. So Kagaki's duel is to the death. Jon Palmer, "Bayushi Kageki", 20 Mar 2014 - Q: I have a dishonored Bayushi Kageki and I use his ability to challenge an honorable oppposing personality in battle. One of my foci is A Scorpion's Wisdom. When the focuses are revealed, and I rehonor my Kageki and dishonor my opponent's personality via A Scorpion's Wisdom, does my first focus add it focus value a second time (as per wording of Kageki's ability)?
A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Bayushi Kageki and A Scorpion's Wisdom", 27 May 2007
