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.

the cards: Determination Dark Virtue Reaction: Before you announce an action, target one of your Samurai: The action can not have its effects negated or have its targeting changed. After the action destroys any Personality, remove him from the game.

Watch Commander Reaction: Before this Personality enters a duel in which he was challenged: Create a 2F/3C/2PH Samurai Yojimbo Duelist Personality card at his location, who enters the duel instead. After the duel ends, remove the Duelist from the game, and destroy this Follower if you lost.
