"Enter Play" VS "Move in"

L5R CCG Rules board, 8 July 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.

When a personality or unit is created and enters play into a battlefield, is that personality or unit also considered moving into the battlefield?

When a personality or unit is created and enters play into a battlefield, is that personality or unit also considered moving into the battlefield?

No. Here is how the glossary defines a movement: to change a unit's location between battlefields or between home and battlefield (in either direction) due to an effect that specifies that it “moves” the unit.

Glossary, Location: An area where cards in play can exist. Each player's home, and each battlefield, are locations.

A created Personality's unit was in no location before it entered play, so entering play doesn't change its location neither between battlefields nor between home and battlefield, therefore it doesn't move.
