Rules Q&A
- Q: Hello,
In the Rules we have a statement: While their card is out of play, continuous traits affect the card they are on, and only that card, unless the trait states otherwise.
Bayushi Kazutoshi has the trait: Other players' Personalities in and out of play have their Honor Requirements increased by 10.
Does his trait work on all opponent's Personalities (with any existent HR) even if he is out of play? His trait doesn't influence him, it "states otherwise", because it concerns "other personalities' HR", not anything about Kazutoshi himself.
A: Kazutoshi's trait only affects honour requirements when he is in play. For the trait to "state otherwise", it would need text such as "Even if this card is out of play." Alex Jones, "Bayushi Kazutoshi's trait while out of play", 21 Aug 2012
