triggered traits and 'this personality'
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.
How does aeg define triggered traits[?]
Triggered traits are traits which effects happen when their trigger occurs in the game. For a comprehensive description of triggered traits and a few examples, read 'Card features, Traits'.
when do they trigger?
Each time their trigger occur, unless : _ the card they are on is neither in play, nor in the focusing area, nor in a resolution or entering-play area, and they do not explicitly say they happen from an area not in play; _ they have a restriction in the general form "once (or twice, etc.) per turn (or phase, game, etc.)", written in the constraints block before the colon. This is explained in 'Card features, Traits' too.
Is the minimum of 5 chi on clan armor a triggered trait?
No, a trait like "This Personality has a minimum Chi of 5" is a continuous one, because it does not contain a trigger.
according to the rule they traits do not transfer when the items are moved?
Too vague to answer. Triggered traits on attachment cards with the trigger "After this card attaches", do not trigger by transferring the card because, as written in 'Glossary, Transfer': "the transferred card is not attaching to the new Personality for purposes of things that are triggered by attaching, and is not entering play".
