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.

I have a question on Wrath of the People event.
It says quote " Until the end of the game, abilities on Personalities cannot produce Gold, and your Unaligned Human Personalities have +2F."
The question is: does "Unaligned" mean any personality that doesn't have a clan keyword like "lion, crane, crab, etc"? If so does any personality without a clan keyword get the +2F? Like ronin for instance and Hidekazu.

The precise definition is given by the glossary: Unaligned describes a "Personality, player, or Stronghold without a Clan alignment." So let's take a closer look at Clan alignment ibidem: "The term “Clan alignment” refers to the nine major clans in Samurai Edition: Crab, Crane, Dragon, Lion, Mantis, Phoenix, Scorpion, Spider, and Unicorn. A Personality with a Clan keyword including “Clan” from one of the nine major Clans has that Clan alignment. Personalities with other keywords including “Clan,” such as “Monkey Clan,” do not have a Clan alignment."
If so does any personality without a clan keyword get the +2F? Like ronin for instance and Hidekazu.
Human Personalities have +2F if they have no Clan alignment. Hidekazu is a good example. Kazumasa too, because the "Badger Clan" keyword grants no Clan alignment. Samarhad is not, because he is Unaligned but Nonhuman.
