The Kami's Embrace Water Movement Legality

L5R CCG Rules board, 15 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.

Concerning this post and it's aftereffects: http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=62224

Is it legal to use the water action on The Kami's Embrace to move a unit you do not control to your home?

If yes, when, if ever, does the unit return to it's owner's home?

We have 6 regular Phoenix players in a playgroup of ~20 people, so this is a fairly urgent question...

Thanks!

No. (Fixed.)

If yes, when, if ever, does the unit return to it's owner's home?
