The following minor, common-sense alterations to the rules should be noted in reading the rulebook:
Under Card types, Spells (p. 20), add:
- Actions on Spells attached to non-Shugenja Personalities can not be taken.
Under Seppuku (p. 51), alter the Seppuku action to:
- 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.
Under Special Circumstances: Keywords (p. 54), alter the paragraph to:
- A reference to a "(Keyword) Spell," a "(Keyword) card," or a "(Keyword) Action card" can also refer to a Spell or Action card with an ability that has that keyword. A Spell also counts as having the keywords of all its abilities for the purpose of things that count keywords on cards. Spells or Action cards with a keyword on one ability do not necessarily have that keyword on all their other abilities.
