Rules Q&A
- Q: When I overlay Yoritomo Exp2 over Yoritomo Exp and then overlay Yoritomo exp3 over Exp2. What exactly can Yoritomo do and what does he do for the army if anything?
A: Traits replace, abilities add (Gold Edition ruilebook, pg. 36). Remember, "ability" means text prefaced by "Limited," "Open," "Battle," or "Reaction" (Gold Edition rulebook, pg. 33). Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 19 August 2003", 19 Aug 2003 - Q: 2) I heard a rumor that you can have both a KYD version and a non-KYD version of the same personality in play at the same time. This sounds silly to me, since they're both Unique versions of the same card. But if it's true, it would save me the frustration of deciding whether to use Yoritomo XP or Yoritomo XP2KYD in my Open Mantis deck. :)
A: From the L5R FAQ at http://l5r.alderac.com/ccg/faq.html :
] Q: How do the Experienced cards in 1,000 Years of Darkness work? ] ] A: For deck construction, the KYD version is a separate level. It's ] legal, for example, to have both the Experienced and the ] ExperiencedKYD versions of a card in your deck, even if the numbers ] are the same. ] ] With regards to overlaying, the KYD doesn't matter, only the ] number. You can overlay an Experienced 2KYD Personality on top of the ] Experienced one, then lay the Experienced 3 version over that. You ] can't overlay the Experienced 2KYD over the Experienced 2, though, or ] vice versa. ] ] The Uniqueness rule during the game works just like always: you cannot ] play or overlay a card if that would cause there to be two cards in ] play that both have the Unique trait and the exact same title. Jeff Alexander, "post for 25 February 2003", 26 Feb 2003 - 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
