Re: Seat of Power & Ratling

L5R CCG Rules board, 28 September 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.

regarding this ruling: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=62130

Kan'ok'tichek xp3 from Truest Test has the following bold face keywords: Ratling • Nonhuman • Clan Champion • One Tribe • Tomorrow Chieftain • Bushi • Experienced 3 • Unique

Seat of power says the following: Reaction: When an action would target one of your Unique Clan Champion or Daimyo Personalities: The action instead targets another of your legal Personalities with the same Clan alignment at his location.

Unless I'm terribly misinterpreting something here, is Kan'ok'tichek xp3 not a Unique Clan Champion as per his own bold face traits?

He is a Unique Clan Champion, but he does not have a Clan Alignment, and thus nothing can 'share' a Clan Alignment with him.
