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.

Shattered Defenses: (Oracle Text) Target two or more of your Personalities at different battlefields: Give each target +1F, or +3F if he is opposed.

So, let's say I have 2 personalities at battlefield A, and 3 personalities at battlefield B, and one at battlefield C.

Can I give all of my personalities the force bonus? ie. by targeting 6 personalities who are at different battlefields (my logic being that battlefield A and battlefield B are different battlefields, and my personalities are at them) Or does it mean that each targeted personality must be at a battlefield that is different from each other targeted personality?

Each target must be at a different battlefield from all the other targets.
