Ninube Hajime

L5R CCG Rules board, 18 October 2012

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Ninube Hajime reads "Battle: Target an enemy Personality at the current battlefield: Hajime turns his mind to rice pudding and he wanders off. Move him to a different location."

Does Hajime's ability to turn minds into rice pudding only last until the end of the turn? I know that abilities only last until the end of turn unless otherwise stated but it seems unrealistic that their brain would just somehow reknit itself from rice pudding to a functioning cortex.

Under discussion.
