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.

I tried the advanced search on the search string "fu leng" and looked up CR: Costs and Restrictions and couldn't find anything for this type of restriction so I ask:

If personality A gained the shadowlands trait and personality B was destroyed during the same turn, and no other personalities have had either situation happen to them, will Fu Leng be able to enter play during the same turn?

Fu Leng has this restriction Will not enter play unless at least two Personalities were destroyed or gained the Shadowlands trait this turn.

No.

Two destructions, or two taintings. Not one of each.
