Hi,
Was wandering how does it works:
Political Open: Target a Personality: Kitiaru copies one of his Political abilities that does not itself copy abilities.
Does it mean that I first make this action and copy ability, than I have to take another action and perform the copied ability? or it is working like that: Kitiaru copies and performing the copied ability in one action?
Second problem is about The Empress' Address :
Reaction: After the resolution of an action or battle that destroyed any of your Personalities in a defending army, bow your performing Courtier or Empress and target your non-Unique Personality with your Clan alignment in your discard pile: Bring him into play (in your home), ignoring costs. Gain 2 Honor.
Can I take a dead personality by it? It is sad that I can take a personality from discard pile, and dead peronalitys are also in my discard pile:)
Thanks for reply Best Regards Tom

1. Copying the ability is the extent of Kitiaru's ability. You'll have to take another action at your next opportunity in order to use it.
2. Yes, dead Personalities are in your discard pile, so you may choose a dead Personality.
