Fueling the Flame and Combined RA

L5R CCG Rules board, 25 April 2014 to 27 April 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.

Following up on http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=107375, if I have a Shugenja with Fueling the Flame and Sailor's warning, and Declare Sailor Warning's Ranged attack, and combine Fueling the Flame's RA6, my understanding is that my shugenja would not get destroyed?

Relevant text from fueling the Flame :

Fire Battle: Bow this Shugenja to make a Ranged 6 Attack. Destroy this Shugenja.

Even if you use Fueling the Flames as "secondary" RA in order to increase another "primary" RA, the destruction of your shugenja will occur.

Note that using an ability to combine effects will still have all the remaining effects of the ability occur normally.

The player pays that ability’s costs, then resolves its action’s effects, with one change: instead of creating a separate attack effect, each of those actions’ relevant attack effects adds its own strength (with any modifications) to the strength of the original attack effect.

(Emphasis mine)
