Rules Q&A

• Q: Can i use Eihiko's reaction upon announcing Souhiko's action, reducing the cost of the personality while bringing him in play from my province?
  Battle: If Souhiko is opposed: Bring a target face-up Personality from one of your provinces into play at the current battlefield, paying 2 less Gold.
  Reaction: After you announce an action: Reduce the Gold Cost of a target card (in play) by 2 until the action ends.
  A: Bolding by me.
  You may not for the reason that the card Souhiko will target is not in play yet, as he is in your province. Dan Jacobson, "Yoritomo Souhiko and Yoritomo Eihiko", 24 Jan 2010
• Q: When Player A uses Yoritomo Souhiko's ability as a naval action and the Player B plays a reinforce the gates, does Player B bow the holdings to "pay the costs" of the personality being brought into play at the battlefield(?)
  A: No. Bringing the Personality into play is an effect of the action, which does not occur due to Reinforce the Gates. Same basic answer as equipping, though there are a couple of differences between equipping and bringing a Personality into play. Zen Faulkes, "Yoritomo Souhiko & Reinforce the Gates", 1 Jan 2010
