Doji's Guidance - Force and Personal Honor boost

L5R CCG Rules board, 26 April 2011

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.

Just want a confirmation about this card: Question: Is the force conditional on the imperial favor, or just the personal honor?

Literally had no problem reading this card ever, till i heard hearsay about a ruling otherwise in a tournament.

Doji's Guidance Kami • Unique Crane Clan Personalities in play have +1F and +1PH while their controller also controls the Imperial Favor. Battle: Even if you control no units at the current battlefield, if you are a Crane Clan player, discard this card: Target a Personality. You may bow him. You may move him home. If this moved him, he will not move again this turn

Is the force conditional on the imperial favor, or just the personal honor?

Both bonuses (+1F and +1PH) depend on the control of the Imperial Favor (see Special wording rules, Conjunctions).
