Ruthless Advance Cost

L5R CCG Rules board, 5 April 2008 to 6 April 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.

with regard to the original post, if i would use seat of power to redirect a ruthless advance from domotai to akagi what would be the cost paid by my opponent? 8 or 3?

thank you

"Cost is set after targeting. Therefore: ...

"Cost must be paid if... a new unit is selected in... in the targeting step by a triggered effect or Reaction with "would target" (e.g., Seat of Power)... unless the new cost exceeds a player's ability to pay it completely."
