Lion Mempo + Battle Resolution

L5R CCG Rules board, 14 March 2008

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 control a personality with an attached Lion Mempo. His army loses battle resolution. May I take the action on Lion Mempo to copy and perform an action on a different personality in his army? If his army wins battle resolution, may I take the action on Lion Mempo to copy and perform an action on a personality in the opposing army?

Thanks!

Paraphrasing the first paragraph of this, a Battle ability can only be used in the Combat Segment. You may use the ability on Lion Mempo, but you cannot take a Battle action during the Resolution Segment.
