New Keyword: Disguised
The disguised keyword appears on unique characters. When a character is played using the disguised keyword, it replaces a non-unique character of the correct Trait or clan affiliation, inheriting all of that character's attachments, fate, and status tokens. This is an alternate means by which to play a character which carries a number of unique rules including, but not limited to, an additional cost of choosing and discarding a non-unique character.
- When playing a character using the disguised keyword, you may play that character during the conflict phase, following all timing rules which apply to playing characters from hand.
- To play a character using the disguised keyword, you must choose a non-unique character you control of the appropriate Trait or clan affiliation as an additional cost to play the character. Reduce the cost to play the disguised character by the printed cost of the chosen character, play the disguised character, then move all attachments and tokens (fate, status, etc.) from the chosen character to the disguised character. Finally, discard the chosen character from play. Interrupts cannot be used to replace or prevent this discard.
- A character played using the disguised keyword cannot be played into a conflict unless the character chosen by the keyword was also participating in the conflict, and fate from your fate pool cannot be put on it.
- A character played using this keyword enters play ready.
New Province: Toshi Ranbo
The For The Empire dynasty pack includes a special province representing the Imperial city of Toshi Ranbo. This card was won by the Scorpion Clan during the 2018 Kotei Series. It features a unique symbol where its elemental affiliation would normally be. This symbol indicates that Toshi Ranbo counts as all five elements at all times and can be selected during deck construction to fulfill the province slot of any element.
