Rules Q&A
- Q: Also similar question with Chiyeko with the Mask of the Maw and a clan sword attached and the first oni in play. Could she in theory copy the First oni and continue to challenge samurai personalities all day?
First Oni reads. The First Oni bows to challenge a Samurai. Discard your Fate deck's top card. If the Samurai's Personal Honor exceeds the card's Focus value, the Samurai must accept the challenge. If The First Oni loses the duel, destroy both personalities.
A: Yes. Jeff Alexander, "post for 16 May 2003", 21 May 2003 - Q: Can you grab an inexperienced personality (The First Oni) with A Time For Vengeance?
A: No. The card must have no Experience level. Zen Faulkes, "A Time For Vengeance", 20 Dec 2005
