Triggering an action seems different than attaching. I think the bold indicated holdings and peep actions.

Haven`t been clear..but definitely actions during dynasty that is not just about bringing characters into play. So best guess?

Can some please make all spoiled cards in an album so we can print them and play an imaginary turn?

Seconded. Kolat edition, baby.

Moto were always around. Dishonored but around. Moto Bushi school was a nice school. But hoping for them not turning the other families into moto flavors.

I'm speculating that there will be action windows between conflicts to, e.g., play Vengeful Oathkeeper, attach Pacifism, or straighten Border Rider.

Yep, it's 1. And it's a real shame.

Clearly the benefit of Glory in conflicts is already good enough. I'm sure they did this choice for a reason.

I appreciate how there is still a penalty for losing provinces, although not a ruinous one (nice balance).

if your opponent has a key personality in a province, it may compel you to go to war sooner than anticipated.

There is a lot of decision making for players in this game...

It lets them make higher glory numbers without it possibly ruining honor matchups. Crane only needs 14 to win after all.

Also that ronin...if you want to go commit to a big dude in one turn, he can be huge for one turn if you dump 7 fate on him.

You'd still need a way to ready him after the first conflict. And it'd be a real pain to run into that Unicorn landmine with him.

He wandered straight out of the Empire...

There is still no obvious statement that your character has to be in the conflict to use his ability....

Is there a close up of the Aggressive Moto?

Not that I know of except the one with the entire conflict but his text is readable and is "This character cannot be declared as a defender." if that was what you wanted to know.

What does elemental fury do ?

Still waiting for a card that would generate honor... :(

Interesting to see a "Tattooed" keyword. Was that utilized in Old5r?

Ring swapping by the defender to an unclaimed ring.

A long time ago, when there were Tattoo action/strategy cards. The last ones seem to have been published in 2012.

Yes, thank you, I wasn't able to read it here.

Yes, it's pretty much just a Togashi thing. It didn't do anything itself, but it let the character do Tattoo Actions.

Not really.

It just means there will be some Tattoo'd actions that the Togashi can use

What is an example of a tattood action?

I have no idea if this will be a clan-wide theme, but I love how flavorful these two cards are by emphasizing patience. Normally you'd want to go first in the conflict phase, but if you go first and use Togashi Initiate's ability then you could potentially have just handed your opponent a free fate token. By being patient and declaring the last conflict of the phase, you're denying them that opportunity--and, when the next turn comes, that unclaimed ring will have two fate tokens on it, which are yours for the taking!

Or your opponent could manage to go first again, and you've just handed them two fate tokens instead of one. ...I must meditate on this...

Hummingbird tattoo, one of the earlier ones

Snake Tattoo, one of the later ones

Yes, you still replace the broken province's card. You just can no longer save a character/holding on it for a later turn.

Does it get auto replaced every turn then? or just on the turn the providence gets broken?
