All right, one last time, just b/c I want to be super-duper sure. Test of the Jade Champion hits, I have a Shugenja, but my hand is empty. Can I target a Shugenja, not discard a card, and still have the Event resolve?
Test of the Jade Champion
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.

Yes, but if you can discard, you must.
