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.

Your Daidoji Yaichiro is at Province A while your opponent's Daigotsu Masami is at Province B. Can you:
1. Resolve Province B first by moving Yaichiro in and then shooting Masami, thereby satisfying presence and location as well as use the exception to the rule?
I separated this from my previous post as the nature of the action is quite different in application.
Many Thanks.

Mountains Shadow Dojo says, "Ranged 3 Attack. Move him ..."
Shoot first. Period. Full stop. Move second.
You can, however, use Mountain's Shadow Dojo during a Battle at Battlefield B to target your Crane Clan Samurai at Battlefield A, shoot a subject at Battlefield B, and then move your Crane Clan Samurai to Battlefield B.
Moving your Samurai into the Current Battlefield invokes the Exception to the Rule of Presence by moving a Unit you control into the Current Battlefield.
Moving your Samurai into the Current Battlefield invokes the Exception to the Rule of Location by moving the card you targeted outside of the Current Battlefield (normally illegal under the Rule of Location) into the Current Battlefield.
For more information about the Rule of Presence, Rule of Location, and their Exceptions, look here.
