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 been reading posts on Misdirection and Ruthless but I couldnt find this..
What happens if I have 7G unbowed and I target a 9GC Personality with a Ruthless Advance which is Misdirected to a 10GC personality?
Do I have to bow all of my gold? or Can I choose to leave my gold unbowed? making the Ruthless Advance fail and go to my discard pile because I cannot pay the cost.
Thanks.

http://rules.l5r.com/Rulings_R#Ruthless_Advance: "Cost must be paid if changes to the unit Gold cost occur, or a new unit is selected in the announcement step (e.g., Misdirection, Turn of Fortune)." (EMphasised.)

Additional: The above is partly incorrect. If you cannot pay it all, you do not have to pay anything. http://rules.l5r.com/Abilities_and_actions#C._Pay_costs But if you can pay it all, you must. (Fixed.)
