Q: Way of death has two separate actions on it. the second which increases the stregth of a fear affect is limited to a Yogo Junzo's Army or Shadowlands Horde Player?
Has this been MRP'd to include all of the shadowlands strongholds or is it just those???
A: It has been reprinted in Gold Edition to refer to all "Shadowlands players". Jeff Alexander, "post for 21 May 2002", 22 May 2002
Q: This came up in discussion with my local Courtmembers:
What happens if I target a personality with "Ever-present Fear" or "Way of Death"? Can I bow the personality?
A: No. You can't bow an Action card as you play it. Jeff Alexander, "post for 13 March 2002", 14 Mar 2002
Q: 2) The card Way of Death refers to players using the Jogo Junzo and SLH strongholds for its larger Fear effect. Has this been MRPd for use with other Shadowlands strongholds, such as Citadel of Daigotsu, Spawning Ground, etc?
A: The MRP says "If you are a Shadowlands player". Jeff Alexander, "post for 10 January 2002", 11 Jan 2002
Q: Way of Death - I assume that "The Way of Death" from Hidden Emperor 5 has been renamed
A: Yeah. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for July 23rd", 23 Jul 2001
