Hi,
I am a Ninja player My family honor is 2. I have a personality in one of my province with the ninja trait with honor requirement equal to 3. Does Ninja Stronghold pay the 2 more gold to allow me to put that personality in play during my dynasty phase ?
Ninja Stronghold Bow this card to put any Ninja card into play without gold cost. Variable cost cards may not be paid for in this manner.
Thanks in advance, Rémi. viewtopic.php?f=59&t=65124&p=837047#p837047
During the Dynasty Phase, before bringing into play a Personality aligned to his Clan, a player may increase the Personality's Gold cost to enter play by 2, and waive the Personality's Honor Requirement.
You increase the Gold Cost for the Ninja to enter play, waiving his Honor Requirement.
Bow this card to put any Ninja card into play without gold cost. Variable cost cards may not be paid for in this manner.
Then you bow Ninja Stronghold to completely ignore the Gold Cost to enter play.
