RE: Question about playing Rings

L5R CCG Rules board, 23 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.

A player, 23 August 2007

My first question for the day is refering to this question.

You see, I believe I've asked in the past if Reaction chains (in this case, the Strike the Summit/Center/Base chain) would count towards bringing the Ring of Water into play. I was told that, no, the chain would not help me towards this goal. (It would help me with the Ring of Air, though.) I was told that I could only bring the Water Ring into play if I'd play all the different, "second-use" Battle actions on each Strike kiho, seperately, beforehand. (And then a fourth Battle Action, of course.)

Has that changed? Because if so, it would be nice to know. If not, maybe adding this to the answer of the other user's question would help to avoid confusion.

In any case, that was just something that roundhouse kicked me in the eye.

For some weird reason, I overlooked that those cards were being used for Reactions, not Battle actions. Sorry.
