Few Against Many and unit destruction

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.

I have a random personality with 3 random followers, all cards are unbowed.

The opponent plays Hired Killer (or any other PK that destroys units such as 7th tower's action or ruthless advance) on the unit, I respond with Few Against Many and bow a follower. The personality is saved but the followers are all destroyed right?

Bad example. Hired Killer card text: "Destroy a target Personality." Not unit.

Few Against Many: "Negate the Personality’s destruction" (card text). Nothing else.
