Request Authorisation + Ryoshun's Guidance

L5R CCG Rules board, 2 January 2013 to 3 January 2013

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.

A player, 2 January 2013

I know the answer, just need to make sure it's here for reference in case

Situation:

I have Doji Bob and Doji Jim at home. I attempt to Brave New World Doji Bob into a battlefield, and my opponent reacts with Request Authorisation. Can I redirect the target of Request Authorisation using Ryoshun's Guidance to Doji Jim, and have Bob move normally?

Card texts:

Reaction: Before another player's Battle action resolves, target a Personality: Negate his movement to the current battlefield from the action's effects.

Reaction: When another player's action would target one of your cards, discard this card: Choose another of your non-Stronghold cards at the same location. The action targets it instead, if legal.

That works.
