Hiruma Tama versus Tactician

L5R CCG Rules board, 26 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.

A player, 26 October 2007

Hiruma Tama Crab Clan • Samurai • Scout Recon Open: Bow Tama: Target a province. During battles at that province's battlefield this turn, after each time a Battle action from a card in play resolves, bow that card.

Tactical, Tactician: An action with the Tactical keyword can only be performed by a Tactician Personality (see Perform). A Tactical action that is not performed by any card can only be taken if one of your unbowed Tacticians is at the current battlefield. Each Tactician can only perform one Tactical action per turn. All players can take the following Tactical Battle Action. Keep in mind that, due to the above rule, it can only target each individual Tactician once per turn: Tactical Battle: Any number of times per turn, discard a card and target one of your Tactician Personalities: Give him a Force bonus equal to the Focus Value of the discarded card.

When a tactician uses the keyword tactician to either take the focus force boost or play a tactical battle action card does it trigger Tama's delayed effect?

No. The default Tactical force bonus action is not on a card in play, it is a player action.
