Overlaying and Inheriting Effects

L5R CCG Rules board, 18 March 2008

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 have a shugenja with a permanent +3f bonus. The shugenja is destroyed and is honorably dead.

I use Honorably Rebirth on him to overlay onto a unique personality with Call of Thunder's effect on him.

From my understanding of the rules, Call of Thunder's effect is inherited.

Is the 3f bonus also inherited / maintained?
