Re: Tsuruchi Gosho + Unholy Strike

L5R CCG Rules board, 3 March 2014

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.

As far as I can see, there's nothing in the rulebook preventing Unholy Strike from interrupting the recruit action, and increasing the strength of his Ranged attack. Please clarify.

The Recruit action isn't generating Gosho's ranged 3, his Thunder Interrupt action is.

If you take a look at page 26 of the advanced rules, you can see that the Interrupts interrupt whatever created the original attack (Ranged, Melee, Fear). In this case that's Gosho's Thunder Interrupt, and you cannot Interrupt an Interrupt.
