A player, 16 February 2015
Hello, I had a quick question about this potential interaction
A) I have Keppo and another Personality with a battle action (Let's say Daigotsu Atsushi) at the battle. B) I play Inspired Leadership and have Atsushi copy Keppo's Interrupt. I take an additional action C) I use Atsushi's Fear 2
My question is can I use the copied interrupt as well to attach an item from my opponent's discard pile? My reasoning is that in post arcs that I played in, when abilities were copied, we almost always substituted the name of the copied with the copier. In this instance, I would imagine that on the copied interrupt, Keppo would be replaced with Daigotsu Atsushi.
Cheers!
Keppo Interrupt, *gold : If the action Recruits Keppo or is his printed Battle action, after it resolves, Equip a target attachment from another player's discard pile to him. Battle: Destroy a target enemy attachment with 4 Gold Cost or less.
Inspired Leadership Battle: Target your Personality and another Personality. Give your Personality +1F and he copies an ability on the second target which does not copy abilities.
