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.

Hey guys,
So, Way of the Crab's wording is "+2 Force while opposed"; does this mean that, after my opponent plays this card, if I remove my presence (thereby making it an unopposed battle), the +2F goes away? Would the ruling be different if it said "if he is opposed" instead?
Thanks!

The +2F is a conditional effect that applies while his army is opposed, goes away if he becomes unopposed, and reapplies if he becomes opposed later in the turn.
If the opposition was a targeting restriction instead, it would be worded "Straighten your target opposed Personality... Give him +2F."
