Final Sacrifice and Standing Fast

L5R CCG Rules board, 5 April 2015 to 19 May 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.

A player, 5 April 2015

Scenario A: Enemy Personality A: 7G Enemy Personality B: 6G unit Enemy Personality Yojimbo C: 8G unit

My Samurai Personality: 14G Unit

I target both A and B with Standing Fast. Enemy interupts with Final Sacrifice to target C. Since C+A and C+B targeting combinations are illegal, am I forced to target C alone or does the original targeting remain?

Errata has been issued to Final Sacrifice.

The player of Final Sacrifice must choose one of the targeting choices of Standing Fast to be changed to the Yojimbo. In the situation described, changing the targeting of either A or B to instead target C will result in illegal targets, so Final Sacrifice's redirection effect will fail.
