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.
So it has been written you can no longer take Open actions during battle but in the rules it speaks of dual written cards that will be battle or open.
My question is, are cards printed prior to Samurai Edition (IE Khans Defiance and Truest Test) still played by the same rules? IE Can open actions on cards from these two sets be played during battle or were they all designed with this new (unknown at the time) rule in effect?
Thanks!
Can open actions on cards from these two sets be played during battle(?)
Now, yes. When Samurai Edition rules come into effect, no.
