Ring of Air and no bowed personalities

L5R CCG Rules board, 6 August 2007

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.

Is it legal to take the action on Ring of Air even if you have no bowed personalities, specifically to trigger a 'When you use an action on a RIng' reaction?

Thanks, Mark

No. You can't take an action without a required target.

The Ring of Air is not concerned about the bowed/unbowed state of the target personality. You may target an unbowed personality, and the straighten effect will be negated.

But you do need a Personality to target, however.
