Doji Kurohito [basic] vs Doji Sesshu

L5R CCG Rules board, 25 August 2011 to 26 August 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.

i just wanted to clear out the reason why Doji Kurohito [basic] and Doji Sesshu are considered the same. why?

with the SE template I could understand why "Soul of X" isn't placed in Doji Sesshu; but with it's absence all together, as well as the difference in trait - I am confused why Sesshu is considered Soul of Kurohito

Doji Sesshu 3F/4C 4HR/8GC/2PH Crane Clan • Samurai Sesshu has +2F and +2PH (even if out of play) while your Family Honor is 21 or more.

Doji Kurohito 3F/4C 4HR/8GC/2PH Crane Clan • Samurai Kurohito gains +2F/+2C while you have over 20 Family Honor.

Bolded text to emphasize difference.

PH and Chi function very differently to my experience. will it break the Legacy environment to have these two considered separate? i don't think so.

this both but a question and a simple suggestion.

They're more alike than Akodo Seiichi and Ikoma Ken'o.
