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.
Does Hidden Machinations allow a player to play a second Limited or Open action while Short Season is active?
I think it does not, because of this point: a permission does not overcome restrictions or negations from card sources.
Am I right?
Short Season Each player may take only one Limited or Open action per turn (after this Event enters play).
Hidden Machinations Before the Action Phase ends, you may take an additional action.

It does not. Hidden Machinations' additional action will not override Short Season's limitation (but if you have not taken a normal Limited or Open action, you can take it during the action granted by Hidden Machinations).
