So Shosuro Adeiko can use her ability even if she is dead?
Shosuro Adeiko and bowed/destroyed again.
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.
So Shosuro Adeiko can use her ability even if she is dead?
You can only use Adeiko's Reaction "from beyond the grave" if she's Reacting to the Action that just destroyed her. That's why her card says, "after ... destroys Adeiko or one of your other personalities:" rather than, "after ... destroys one of your personalities, even if Adeiko is dead:"
The only situation where Adeiko's card text explicitly breaks the rule that you can not use the abilities of cards you do not control is when Adeiko responds to herself getting killed.
