Aramasu's Mask on prnited Tactician

L5R CCG Rules board, 23 June 2015 to 24 June 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.

I tried to find a question like this but I failed, so I'll try the direct approach:

a) If a Personality with printed Tactician Keyword attaches Aramasu's Mask (which gives the Personality the Tactician Keyword), does he gain a second Tactician Keyword?

b) If so, does this enable him to use the Tactical Advantage Action twice, and why?

c) If he does not gain a second Tactician Keyword, does he lose the Tactician Keyword entirely, if it is removed by Victory of Deference or A Kensai's Art? If not, please care to explain why

Thanks in Advance!

Comprehensive Rules, Keywords: A card either has a given keyword or it does not. Effects that grant a keyword to a card that already has it do not give it an extra copy of the keyword, and do not protect that card against a future effect that would remove that keyword.

So: a) No, he does not gain a second copy of Tactician. b) No, he cannot use Tactical Advantage twice. c) He loses Tactician.
