Some Togashi monk clarifications please

By player1408683, in Rules Questions

Hi all,

I would like to ask for your advise on how to interpret two things about the game:

1. When monk has the kiho enhancement effect active, can he/she switch to another ring freely or would it immediately end the kiho? Or is the ring stance requirement just for activating kiho and not for maintaining it?

2. How does the Way of the Earthquake enhancement effect work when being attacked by more than one foe? Does it trigger every time monk defends afainst damage on the same turn and when monk attacks on top of that? Or is it just once a turn effect?

Thank you in advance for your replies.

  1. The ring/stance requirement is to activate it. First bullet point in page 182 says it lasts until the user decides to end it, the scene ends or activates another kihō.
  2. I would say it activates only once per turn for the enhancement effect, basically because it uses the word 'after' and not 'every time', so it's my interpretation it is only once per turn.
