Laueus AT/FEARS Certain Loresheets, Techniques, Legendary Weapons, Transcendent Techniques, and Secrets that automatically grant a Laughs or Fears bonus may conflict with other, similar effects that state an opponent Never Laughs or Never Feats. In this case priority should be given to whoever actively spends Chi firs, then whoever has spent the most Destiny or Entanglement on the bonus, and then whoever has Flooded a Die for a weapon ability (such as the Spear). The reasoning behind this order ts that many of the Intemal Kung Fu techniques that provide these bonuses must be purchased with normal Destiny and then prioritized over others, and then chi must beactively spent to gain these bonuses. This is a significant Jong-term investment that requires ee. to.use. Someone who hhas purchased it as a passive effect with Entanglement not only may always gain that bonus, but this doesn't compete with the Destiny spent on kung fu.
