• Erratum: Imperial Herald promo version (Pearl-style front and marbled green border) should not have the "Experienced" trait. [Erratum to MRP, Imperial Herald promo, AH, 1 October 2000] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 133

Rules Q&A

• Q: If during my turn my opponent he uses Isawa Ochiai Exp. open ability on my Yoritomo Random. When I declare an attack and assign my personality she will make the duel from her ability that will end up bowing my Yoritomo. Assuming I had Pincers and Tail attached to my personality can I use the item battle action? Based on the "who's performing" rule I guess not. But I had that doubt, so here I am.
  Thanks in advance.
  Pincers and Tail
  Reaction: After a Battle action targeting one of your Personalities resolves, if this card is in your hand: Attach it to him, paying 2 less Gold. Battle: Bow and destroy this card: Ranged 3 Attack. You may compare this attack's strength against the target's Chi instead of Force if he is a Personality.
  [Mod edit: Thread title, typos. -ZF]
  A: Generally, the bowed status of a Personality does not affect whether you can use an ability on an attached card.
  The rule is, "Abilities on a bowed card can not be used," not, "Bowed Personalities can't perform actions." Those are two very different things. Zen Faulkes, "Bowed personality and items.", 2 Oct 2007
• Q: If I'm attacking with a Yoritomo Random at province 1 and with Tsuruchi Random at province 2 and I have the chance to go first on both battles (let's assume it's cause I have naval). If I resolve at province 1 and as my first battle action I attach a item on my Yoritomo peep there and chose not to make a aditional battle action. At province 2 if attach a card to my Tsuruchi peep can I now get a aditional battle action even if that were not my first battle action that attached something?
  A: No. Zen Faulkes, "Eastern Hub Port and First Attachment.", 11 Sep 2007
