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.
acording to the link below http://rules.l5r.com/Battles
"The phrase “Even if [ a card ] is not at the current battlefield” is intended to waive the rule of Location, but not necessarily Presence. "
please explain what part(s) of Location are not waved by the quoted line above? sorry for being direct i mean no offence :p
this is also in reguards to http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=62593&p=801948&hilit=holding#p801948
The Rule of Location: This rule has two parts:
1. Any cards in units must be at the current battlefield to be legally targeted by a Battle action.
2. If a Battle action is on a card in a unit (a Personality or attachment in play), the unit must be at the current battlefield.
A Personality with that ability, "Battle: Even if this card is at home: Target Personality gets +3F." Can use its ability from home to give a target at the Current Battlefield +3F, or use its ability at the Current Battlefield to give a target at the Current Battlefield +3F (even itself), but can not use its ability from home to give any card not at the Current Battlefield +3F - even itself.
We're working on the Comprehensive Rules to make this more clear.
