An Act of Disdain

L5R CCG Rules board, 28 February 2015 to 5 March 2015

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.

with the new ways traits interact with rulebook actions i have some questions regarding cavalry and naval and An Act of Disdain.

If my cavalry naval personality is targeted by An Act of Disdain and i declare an attack assigning no infantry, then use the cavalry engage to move in the targeted personality, does that trigger An Act of Disdain? If i declare the naval engage action with the same personality will it trigger An Act of Disdain?

Neither Cavalry nor Naval are an action "on" a card in a unit. However, An Act of Disdain will trigger if you actually use the action granted by Naval, since it needs to come from a card in the Personality's unit.
