Hi,
Can you use the Right Hand of the Emperor's ability to move an opponents personality to the current battlefield if you have a Traditionalist in play? Do you need to have an opposed personality to target an opponents personality with this? Can you use this if you are attacking and unopposed to harpoon an opponent's personality at home?
Right Hand of the Emperor's ability reads: Favor Political Repeatable Battle: If you control an opposed Personality at the current battlefield, discard the Imperial Favor to move your target Personality at any location there.
Traditionalist's trait reads: You may not play other Allegiance cards. Your Favor actions may target your Personalities as well as other players'.
Thanks

Traditionalist expands the range of legal targets of your Favor action that can only target other players' Personalities, such that the action can also target your Personalities.
It has no effect on actions for which only your Personalities are legal targets: "as well as" does not mean "and".
