Re: Targeting on Crippling Cut

L5R CCG Rules board, 14 October 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.

In viewtopic.php?f=59&t=62544 It was implied strongly that A Soldier's Fate no longer negates effects of actions when it makes the target no longer legal for the original action. Is this true?

The question asked a general rule about targeting and Crippling Cut, and I answered with the general rule after looking at Crippling Cut.

The example happened to mention A Soldier's Fate, which has specific text that overrides the general rule. But it wasn't mentioned in the question, so I didn't say anything about it.
