when you use feign death on a personality do they come in fresh, or do they retain everything they had on them when they died like force/chi penalties, battlefield assignments etc. If they come in with all card memory would they still die if they died from having 0 chi, or could you use back to the front on them while still in the battle?
Feign Death and card memory
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.

A Personality who Feigns Death does go (briefly) out of play, but not face-down, so he or she retains effects and other tracked game states, as described under Card Memory Rule: If a card is both out of play and face-down (including returning to the hand), it “forgets” ongoing effects specific to it, and other changes such as whether its abilities have been used.
