Palm Strike and Monk followers

L5R CCG Rules board, 12 May 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.

Hi rules team! Its been awhile! Hope you are all well!

Anyway. I was playing my monksai and I noticed with regards to Palm Strike its ability.

Kiho Battle: Target your unbowed Monk without a Weapon. Bow a target enemy Personality without a Weapon.

Now, because it does not specify unbowed monk personality can I target an unbowed monk follower, such a Fudo's Fiends or Brothers of Jade as they would be both an unbowed monk and without a weapon and then resolve the rest of my actions?

Thanks for everything!

You may indeed target your Monk Follower with Palm Strike.
