Clarification on Blood Wave

L5R CCG Rules board, 20 February 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.

Just a simple clarification on Blood Wave... It says on the TA rule sheet that the personality is destroyed before it checks the force to produce a range attack so item force bonuses wouldnt be counted. My question is what about spells with trait force bonuses?

It works the same as with items. The Personality is destroyed, the attachments leave play, including spells, and the force is then checked. Since items and spells are both gone, their bonuses don't count.
