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.
A player, 3 July 2014
Interrupt Action:
Ex: Susumu Yanada is at home during this battle. Daigotsu Roburo Fear its target personality, as a interrupt Yanada Bows and make that fear action destroy the personality that Roburo has just bow!
Looking at the rules:
Rule of Presence: To legally take an action during battle, a player must control one or more units at the current battlefield. Daigostu is in combat. So Interrupts on personalities can be used from home?
Thanks again

A card in a unit needs to be at a battlefield in order to use its Interrupt on an action during that battle. This differs from the way Reactions worked.
