Saya and Coward

L5R CCG Rules board, 15 July 2007

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.

There may already be an answer to this but I cant locate it.

If I use Bayushi Saya's ability on a person, then go into battle, then use Coward on the same person, would they be dishonored if they moved in due to Saya?

Mod reminder: Please note Experience levels when a card has more than one. Thanks!

Assuming you mean the non-Experienced Bayushi Saya...

And assuming that you are the attacker....

This question is, "Who performs Coward! ?"

Rules, Glossary, Perform: "A Personality or Follower is performing an action if its controller is the player taking the action..."

And you don't have to read any further. Another player's Personality can never perform one of your actions, so it is never a trigger for the non-Experienced Bayushi Saya.
