Saiyuki and Items

L5R CCG Rules board, 14 January 2014

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

So, if I understood this correctly, Saiyuki does not receive an extra +1F from an item, is that correct?

Reference:

Text Increase by 1 all Force bonuses Saiyuki receives (for the duration of the Force bonus).

That is correct.

An Item's Modifier value is not a bonus to the stat.
