Rules Q&A

• Q: When a action is issued, does he get the stat bonus immediately?
  A: He gets it after you play the action. Archive, General, Actions: That's after it's been announced, targeted, and paid for. Zen Faulkes, "Bayushi Shusui, just making sure", 14 Mar 2005
• Q: When he uses the card draw ability, does he stick around and contribute his force to the resolution?
  A: No. Zen Faulkes, "Bayushi Shusui, just making sure", 14 Mar 2005
• Q: so does this mean that no matter how big Shusui is as long as he used his ability he won't be able to destroy any province?
  A: Unless you can find a way to bring him back from the grave in the battle unbowed -- yes, that is what it means. Zen Faulkes, "Bayushi Shusui", 14 Mar 2005
