[edit] Iaijutsu Art

• You may not create an effect that gives you another focus if you have already focused.

[edit] I Believed in You

• Renamed from I Believed in You..., albeit barely. [MRP]

[edit] Ide Buodin

• Should read, "The Personality has -3F until after the resolution Segment of this battle." [Erratum, DW, 30 March 2000]

[edit] Ikm'atch-tek

• Cannot use his action if there are no Followers in the discard pile, because it the one it removes is a required target. [ML, 13 May 2004; Clarified based on Legacy and current rules, BC, 18 September 2008]

[edit] Ikoma

• His ability may be used any number of times per turn. [Erratum, Lotus Edition rulebook, 31 October 2005]

[edit] Ikoma Ken'o

• His ability functions identically to Akodo Seiichi's. [BC, 18 September 2008]

[edit] Ikoma Ujiaki

• The word "opposing" is relative to the Lion Personality who was destroyed, not Ujiaki. Ujiaki need not be in the current battle. [DW, 26 August 1998]

[edit] Ikuei

• Reads, "Ikuei 2F/2C -HR 4G 2PH Unaligned Samurai • Ronin. After each time Ikuei bows or is destroyed, no player may put cards into his hand from his own card effects for the rest of that phase. Open: Bow Ikuei: Give target Personality +2F." [Erratum, web, 22 May 2006]

[edit] Immortal Steel

• Affects both the Weapon's stats and its effects. [DW, 11 March 1997; Clarified, BC, 18 September 2008]

[edit] Imperial Funeral

• Should read, "Imperial Funeral Starting with you and going clockwise, each player may bow any number of his or her Personalities and gain 1 Honor for each Personality he or she bows. Each player loses 3 Honor for each of his or her unbowed Personalities who does not or cannot bow, and those Personalities become Dishonored." [Erratum to MRP, JA, web, 9 September 2001]

[edit] Imperial Taxation

• Payment is not mandatory. The Holding's controller may choose to have the Holding destroyed even if he can afford the cost. [DW, 1 May 1997]

[edit] Inkyo

• Should read, "Inkyo *F/+2C 1HR 2G -PH 2FV Monk. Inkyo's Force equals the number of Rings in play. Inkyo cannot perform Kiho actions." [Erratum, JA, 26 October 2000; Updated, BC, 18 September 2008]

[edit] Isawa Maasaki

• Ability gives +1F/+1C when he has no Spells. [JA, 10 April 2002]

[edit] Isawa Osugi

• Will negate the Gold production as well as the Shadowlands keyword if the Sacred Temples of the Phoenix stronghold is bowed to produce 7G to pay for her or for a spell for her. [DW, 11 December 1996]

[edit] Isawa Riake

• Should read, "Isawa Riake 1F/3C 5HR 8G 2PH Phoenix Clan • Master of Water • Shugenja • Soul of Isawa Tomo. Elemental Battle: Bow Riake to move a unit from one of the defender's Province's to another." [Erratum, Gold Edition rulebook]

[edit] Isawa Suma

• His trait only affects Spells whose own costs or effects destroy them. [DW 5 April 1999; Clarified, BC, 18 September 2008]
• The cost of destroying the Spell is still considered to have been paid. [Erratum, JA, 9 April 2002]
• The Chi reduction is not a cost, it happens "instead"; thus, even if it does not occur (i.e. due to an imposed minimum), the Spell will not be destroyed (see Instead). [JA, 5 September 2002; Clarified, BC, 18 September 2008]

[edit] Isawa Tadaka (Experienced 2)

• Has the Shadowlands keyword. [Erratum]

[edit] Jester

• "All players may use this ability" only allows players other than its controller to use the ability; it does not override any other restriction. [JA, 10 January 2003]

[edit] Jigoku Sensei

• Its text "one of these Oni" only refers to those currently under the Sensei. [JA, 10 December 2004; Clarified, BC, 18 September 2008]

[edit] Junghar Encampment

• Reads, "Junghar Encampment 7PS 5G 4FH Once per battle, if you control any units at an adjacent battlefield, after you announce a Battle action at the current battlefield, you may take and resolve it as if the Defender's army had at least one unit, controlled by the Defender. (This does not create any units for costs or targeting.)" [Erratum, ML, 14 July 2006]

[edit] Jurojin's Touch

• The card is removed from the game in addition to being destroyed, not instead of. [DW, 9 February 1998]
• Ignore all text in each ability after "from the game"; effects removal from the game are now more accurately explained in the Rules themselves. [DW, 13 February 1998; Clarified, BC, 18 September 2008]
