Tsuruchi Kimita, timing

L5R CCG Rules board, 23 June 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.

Now that my targetting questions are out of the way, it's time for a timing question.

Fear Battle: Target a personality without followers. His controller may dishonor him, then move him home. If he is still at the current battlefield, Ranged 6 attack targetting him.

Some reactions, such as No Hiding Place, occur before or after a ranged attack is targetted. For Kimita's ability, is the ranged attack considered to be targetted when you declare the action, or only if and when the ranged attack actually occurs?

If it occurs at all.
