Mirumoto/Hirohisa overlay

L5R CCG Rules board, 7 April 2006

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from the Wayback Machine (its copy), so posts 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.

In reference to this...

I was under the impression that overlaying was only legal during a time when you could normally purchase a personality (LE rulebook, p.55). Since bringing people into play via Hirohisa's ability is during the Battle action segment, a time when you may not normally play a person, wouldn't this entire play be illegal?

Ah. Fixed. It's easy to overlook faulty premises when answering specific questions...
