Rules Q&A
- Q: P.S. Thanks for clearing up the Togashi Kaiteru thing, but I wonder why the new templating wasn't used?? The way the card is worded, "After he enters a duel" is part of the cost of the action.
A: Check out the Web of Lies Rulesheet. The new templating works like this:
[Action Traits and Type] : [Reaction Timing] [Costs] : [Restrictions] [Targeting] [Effects]
Kaiteru's Reaction Timing is in the right part by new templating. Martin Lund, "Rules for 4 February 2005", 10 Feb 2005 - Q: Togashi Kaiteru, from Dawn of the Empire has an ability that reads:
"Reaction: After he enters a duel, bow a Monk Personality you control: If Kaiteru has no Weapons, give him +2F/+1C. If this is done during a battle, these bonuses last until the battle ends."
There has been some conflict as to what this means in my local game group.
A: The meaning is this: "Reaction: After [Kaiteru] enters a duel, bow a Monk Personality you control: If Kaiteru has no Weapons, give [Kaiteru] +2F/+1C. If this is done during a battle, these bonuses last until the battle ends."
Kaiteru permits you to bow Monks to increase Kaiteru's stats. Martin Lund, "Rules for 30 January 2005", 4 Feb 2005
