If I as an attacker start before the defender (f.e naval, sneak attack...) and the defender player plays Reinforce the Gates. Must I pay the attachment pay or not? I was told that the rule has changed and I must puy it. And if I have to pay, do I discard the follower or does it return to my hand? And if the attachments makes an Honor loss do I get it?
Reinforce The Gates + Attaching
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.

You do not have the pay for the attachment. The action that is negated is the action to play the attachment and the cost is part of the attachment and not the cost of the attaching action.

The follower never leaves your hand as the action to attach it was negated. The follower is not discarded nor do any of its entering play effects occur.
