Characters as attachments question(s)

By Nix3, in Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game

Could you (wider wiser community) help me out with characters as attachments? How do they work?

- can I add attachments to characters acting as an attachment?

- do the count as bowed if the character they’re attached to bows?

- do the contribute strength (military or political) independently?

- can they be individually targeted as both attachments and characters?

i’m not Understanding clearly how they work from the rules reference.

- can I add attachments to characters acting as an attachment? Nope, the character acting as an attachment is now just an attachment.

- do the count as bowed if the character they’re attached to bows? Nope, all attachments bow independently from the characters

- do the contribute strength (military or political) independently? Nope, unless there is a little '+' symbol next to the stat

- can they be individually targeted as both attachments and characters? Nope, just as attachments

No to all of those. Once a character is played as an attachment, it's considered an attachment.

Key thing that LuceLineGames didn't explicitly point out is that the "Character Attachments" are basically considered +0/+0 attachments. Their Mil and Political stats are only relevant if they are played as characters, and do not modify the character.

Thank you everyone
