Aranai Sensei + Victory Through Deference

L5R CCG Rules board, 14 January 2015

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.

Greetings!

My question is what happens when I have a Personality with 3 Chi in play with Aranai Sensei and then the opponent removes the Tactician keyword from my Presonality. Will it be removed until the end of the turn? Or will Aranai Sensei reapply the keyword since it is a trait and it is continuous and not restricted to once per turn ( as it is stated in the advanced rulebook). I couldn't find any answers for this question in the Rules forum I hope it's not a repost. Thanks for the help in advance.

While the ongoing effect of Victory Through Deference is removing the Tactician keyword granted by Aranai Sensei, the keyword stays removed.

However, Victory Through Deference's effect will not prevent a new, different effect granting the Tactician keyword.
