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, 30 July 2007
Since this ( viewtopic.php?f=59&t=59476&p=765820&hilit=Political+Interference#p765820 ) question was asked a few days too early and wasn't answered, I was wondering if I could get an answer to it now. Can this action be played in Reaction to an action with 0 gold cost? Can it be used on actions with no defined gold cost, like those actions printed on Personalities or the general player actions described in the rulebook (such as lobbying or equipping)? Finally, can it be used when another player is bringing a personality or holding into play during their dynasty phase?
Political Interference Political Reaction : Before a player pays an action's gold cost, bow one of your target Courtiers: The player may choose to raise that Gold cost by 2. If he does not choose this, he loses 2 Honor.

The announcement has not been updated, so still applies. No Samurai Edition card questions yet. (General rules are okay).
