[edit] Shadowed Path to Victory

[edit] Stars Scatter
- May produce an indefinite number of 0 strength Ranged Attacks, if the original strength was more than 0. [DW, email, July 1999]

- Multiples are not cumulative. [JA, December 1999]
[edit] Street to Street
- According to Legacy Rules about implicit targeting on pre-Dawn of the Empire cards, each player targets the Personalities to whom he chooses to re-attach Followers. Thus, an un-targetable Personality (eg, with Kitsuki Kaagi's Journal attached) could not attach Followers when this action's delayed effects do so. [JA, 29 October 2001; Clarified, BC, 05 July 2008]
[edit] Strike With No Shadow

[edit] Suitengu's Uncertainty

Until he straightens, every Personality you do not control has the ability, "Limited: This Personality issues an unrefusable challenge to the Personality bowed by the action that granted this ability." If the target is in play when he next straightens, give him a permanent Chi bonus equal to his base Chi." [Erratum, clarification of rules/rulings, BC, 05 July 2008]
[edit] Surrender
- Cannot be played during a tied battle; "losing" a battle only occurs if the enemy army wins. [JA, 14 June 2002; Clarified, BC, 01 Aug 08]
