Rules Q&A

• Q: Can a Ninja player use Blood Money to waive Toturi the First's honor requirement if bringing him into play "without gold cost" with a Ninja Stronghold?
  A: Yes. Jeff Alexander, "post for 12 March 2003", 13 Mar 2003
• Q: If Toturi gets the bonus, what about Kitsune? What about Lady Kitsune? What about personalities with Kitsune as a trait, such as Soshi Kiyo exp?
  A: "Kitsune" is a family name, so a Personality titled just "Kitsune" is a member. "Lady Kitsune" is not, nor are cards with the "Kitsune" trait. Jeff Alexander, "post for 9 December 2002", 10 Dec 2002
• Q: I have several questions about rulings.
  1) When Hantei the 39th(kyd) is sent home instead destroyed, does he keep his attached cards?
  A: It depends whether he was being destroyed by something that would have killed just him (Iaijutsu Duel, Kolat Assassin, Occult Murders) or eliminated his entire unit (To Do What We Must, being in a losing army at resolution). In the first case, his attached cards survive. In the latter, they do not. Jeff Alexander, "post for 18 November 2002", 19 Nov 2002
• Q: 2) A few questions about Toturi(kyd)'s reaction. Card reads "Reaction: When the Battle Action Segment of this battle begins, look at the Fate hand of an opposing player and discard one card from that hand". a) Does Toturi must be in that battle to perform that action
  A: Yes. He says "this battle". [BB rulesheet] Jeff Alexander, "post for 18 November 2002", 19 Nov 2002
• Q: Is Toturi himself considered to have the family name Toturi (say, for Family Tactics)?
  A: Since, and only since, "Toturi" is a family name due to the existence of other cards, a card titled "Toturi" is considered part of that family. Jeff Alexander, "post for 23 September 2002", 25 Sep 2002
