Rulings
- Effects that change the number on his card (e.g., Shiryo no Tetsuya) will increase his chi. [Netnews, 9/8/99] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 135
- Does not benefit from chi bonuses at all. A single -1C from anywhere will kill him, even if he would normally have other chi bonuses. [29 September 1999] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 135
- Is not a Temple. [Keyword rule exception, JA, 18 April 2005] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 135
Rules Q&A
- Q: do Courtier keyworded followers count for targeting or counting requirements that look at courtiers? For example, Daidoji Yoshun's trait (bow a courtier or shugenja or else destroy Yoshun after he enters play), or Daidoji Shimizu's Engage (+XF where X is amount of Courtiers), or even Inexplicable Challenge (example follower with Courtier would be Skillful Recorder)
A: I couldn't follow all of what Nimuro replied, but the gist is what Kanzen said.
(Replying to a player: "But given that [Diplomatic Appentrice] have such a trait, can other followers that are for example courtier suffice for an action that require to bow Courtier?") Diplomatic Apprentice has no Courtier keyword and no direct interaction with cards that do. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 18 Dec 2023
