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.

viewtopic.php?f=59&t=109310 : Reminder text has no bearing on rules
I feel like these are all encompassed by the same area of ruling that seems at best to contradict answers, and at worst to not even exist in the comp rules.
I was hoping we could get some form of clarification, and pointed to the correct part in the Comp Rules that evidences certain rulings rather than some of the current trend of "Shut up you're wrong". Thanks.

A lot of reminder text is placed on cards to help players know how a card's effects interact with the CR.
Recently we have had a few instances of reminder text that the Rules Team thought clarified the interactions, but seemed to only muddy them for the general playerbase.
As a rule, Reminder Text should be ignored when comparing the card text to the CR.
