Tsuruchi Etsui vs. Seat of Power

L5R CCG Rules board, 13 December 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, 13 December 2007

Tsuruchi Etsui Mantis Clan • Pirate • Naval • Kolat • Experienced • Unique Once per game, after Etsui enters play or overlays: You may target a Personality. Until the end of the game, he cannot assign or move to battlefields unless Etsui is bowed or out of play.

Seat of Power Reaction : When an action would target one of your Unique Clan Champion or Daimyo Personalities: The action instead targets another of your legal Personalities with the same Clan alignment at his location.

If I bring Etsui into play and target one of the opposing player's Clan Champion can he redirect it with Seat of Power if there is another legal target?

If I bring (Tsuruchi Etsui Experienced) into play and target one of the opposing player's Clan Champion can he redirect it with Seat of Power if there is another legal target?

Not an action. No.
