If Kitsune Diro Exp overlays, does he gain both Samurai and Shugenja after the overlay?

What ruleset? In specific edition like Jade? Or in OBH Legacy?

A player, 17 April 2024 15:12

The ex is jade only

A player, 17 April 2024 15:12

Well, hidden emperor technically

A player, 17 April 2024 15:13

He would not

Jade rulebook has this strange definition: "The later version keeps the earlier one's attached cards, tokens,abilities, bowed or unbowed status, and permanent changes. The later version's printed statsand traits override the earlier version's, unless the earlier version's were permanent changes."

"unless the earlier version's were permanent changes"- i don't know what does it mean.

A player, 17 April 2024 15:14

"no effects are triggered by the card entering play"

A player, 17 April 2024 15:14

So he would keep the trait that was initially chosen when you brought the non-experienced version into play

A player, 17 April 2024 15:14

But when you overlay you wouldn't choose a second trait

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 17 April 2024 15:15 · in reply

Wouldn't it be the same either way? Ongoing effects persist, so it will still have the keyword its basic got, then it isn't considered to enter play, so the Exps trait won't trigger?

A player, 17 April 2024 15:15

Gaining the keywords isn't an ongoing effect, so I don't know that is an issue, right?

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 17 April 2024 15:16

Yeah, as you said. Should be same under either Ruleset.

A player, 17 April 2024 15:16

It's more going to hit the permanent change category

Yes it is.

A player, 17 April 2024 15:17

That's straight from the honor bound rulebook for support.

You keep the initial choice but don't get a new choice when you overlay.

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 17 April 2024 15:17 · in reply

Permanent changes are ongoing effects.

A player, 17 April 2024 15:17

Aah...

A player, 17 April 2024 15:17

How does that interact with effects like Courtesy?

A player, 17 April 2024 15:17

I would think that's a rules-level change, less than the card

A player, 17 April 2024 15:18

Courtesy didn't exist so no longer a Jade question and it's onto silly nonsense design choices and I'm out lol

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 17 April 2024 15:18 · in reply

Courtesy is a continuous trait on the card which would be overwritten in most cases. Specific example preferred for specific answers. 🙂

A player, 17 April 2024 15:20

I don't think there's an example that prevents ongoing effects, so it's more theory.

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 17 April 2024 15:22

Well, happy to help in any case. 🙂 I trust you're satisfied with the Diro help? Villainous and I came down pretty much in full agreement.

A player, 17 April 2024 15:24

Oh, definitely. I'm sorting old cards and they were side by side, and that was my second thought, so I figured to ask

A player, 17 April 2024 15:24

The first thought was, of course, why that boy a furry

A player, 17 April 2024 15:25

I blame the Kitsune clan and their dang overplaying with the Beast Realm

A player, 17 April 2024 15:27

They bring their "love" for animals to a new level in Emperor edition and beyond 😂

A player, 17 April 2024 15:28

Even make it look Honorable

kempy_nezumi (not official), 17 April 2024 15:28
