A player, 29 July 2007
New to the game I played my first tournaments this weekend. Today I played one and my first match was against lion. He had Matsu Benika as his first personality out while I struggled at first to get some gold. He uses her ability to target herself twice and gain 2 cat followers as well as attaching a weapon. This turnes her into 9f if I remember correctly, and he was able to take a province right away, and then it just went downhill from there for me.
Anyway, I was wondering about that play: her ability is to "target one or two of your personalities. create and attach a 1F nonhuman, cat follower to each one" to me that means 2 separate personalities, not the same one twice. I've tried looking this up elsewhere but haven't found anything definitive. Thanks for the help.

If you want two, you must have two separate targets.
