A player, 31 March 2010
Hello all,
I have a few questions about this card.
Shiro Kitsuki Battle: Once per battle: Target a face-down Personality attached to one of your Provinces. If he would be opposed, bring him into play face-up at the current battlefield, ignoring costs. You may take an additional Battle action. Remove the Personality from the game after the battle ends.
1) Are honor requirements for the personalities still required? 2) Do I have to have a presence there for this effect to work? 3) Is it required that I bring a personality into play or is it a choice?
Thanks all for any help!
Regards
Edit: Moved to appropriate forum -Genji

1) You must meet honor requirements for Personalities when bringing them into play in any phase unless card text explicitly tells to you ignore honor requirements or "restrictions". 2) You must have presence at the current battlefield to use the ability. 3) You must bring a personality into play if you use the ability.
The answers for questions 1 and 2 are the results of changes in rules since the card was first printed.
