Hello all.
I couldn't find anything in the rules about this:
Suppose that I have an Item attached to one of my personalities. Let's say that I have a Daruma on a Hida guy. I also have Obsidian Dragon out. Obsidian Dragon states that "He can not attach items or followers". Since transferring is not attaching, can I transfer Daruma from the Hida guy to the Obsidian dragon, bypassing his non-attachment restriction?
Does the same thing work (if it works) with followers that have an honor requirement that the guy who are about to be transferred does not meet (for instance Brothers in arms to a dishonored personality?)
Thanks for the time.
Edit: Page 32 of the new rulebook states that you can only share attachments with guys that can legally equip it. So I think that this pretty much covers my question. However, I would like an official answer, even to something that obvious. So can I transfer an item to Obsidian Dragon?

No, for stated reasons.
