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.
Gurus, I am trying to get a grasp on the mechanics of Arrows from the Woods: Battle: Ranged 2 Attack. Reaction: After you target another player’s card with a Ranged Attack: Increase that Ranged Attack’s strength by 2.
It seems to me that the Reaction would work off the cards own Battle action? So in theory playin this card does 4 Ranged attack unless opponent does something to stop the ability to target a card?
Thank you in advance for your time and efforts

Action cards are played from hand. At the point when you'd want to take the Reaction on Arrows from the Woods, it's not in your hand, it's in the "resolution area" created for playing Arrows on the Woods for its Battle action.
