Rules Q&A
- Q: I control two Brilliant Cascade Inns. My opponent controls one honorable Personality and plays Wheels Within Wheels to seppuku his Personality. Will the two Brilliant Cascade Inns reduce the honor gain from Wheels Within Wheels?
Text from Wheels Within Wheels
Trait on Brilliant Cascade Inn
A: Each Brilliant Cascade Inn will reduce by 1 the honour gain from your opponent's Wheels Within Wheels if he or she controls no Personalities after the seppuku. Alex Jones, "Brilliant Cascade Inn and Wheels Within Wheels", 26 Aug 2015 - Q: Can a personality without the samurai or courtier triat commit seppuku via the card "Wheels Within Wheels"?
Wheels within wheels:
Open: Target one of your honorable Human Personalities: He commits seppuku. You may rehonor one of your Personalities. Gain 2 Honor.
Seppuku:
Reaction: Any number of times per turn, before you lose Honor from an action that targeted or was performed by one of your Courtier or Samurai Personalities: He commits seppuku. If the seppuku destroyed him, reduce the Honor loss to one.
Thank you for your time.
A: Yes.
The Reaction in the rulebook is not Seppuku, but an ability that Samurai and Courtiers can use to "commit seppuku."
Wheels within Wheels has another ability that allows any of your Huamn Personalities to "commit seppuku." Martin Lund, "Wheels within wheels and seppuku", 12 Mar 2008
