HI there,
"Bayushi Nomen 3F/4C 5HR 5G 2PH Scorpion Clan • Samurai • Courtier Actions performed by Personalities who were dishonorable when the action was announced cannot target Nomen or Personalities in Nomen’s army." [MRP, Samurai Edition, 25 July 2007]
Can i target Bayushi Nomen with an action performed by a dishonorable personality while he is not on an army? For sake of example Can i use Bayushi Saya's open ability to target a Bayushi Nomen, if she is Dishonorable when i annouce it?
I tried to look up this on the Comprehensive Rules Wiki Site, but found the information a bit hard to understand/apply to Bayushi Nomen's scenario (there is no a in Nomen's Trait so w use the 3rd paragraph and the answer to my question is Yes ?) http://rules.l5r.com/Special_wording_rules#Conjunctions mainly on 3rd paragraph vs the 6th :
Modifiers attached to a phrase in the form of "a [modifier] X or Y" or "a [modifier] X and Y" modify both things in that phrase. Example: "A Shadowlands Shugenja or Monk" means "a Shadowlands Shugenja or a Shadowlands Monk." If "a Monk or a Shadowlands Shugenja" is meant, it will be written that way. Likewise, "a Shugenja or Monk without attachments" means "a Shugenja without attachments or a Monk without attachments."
Modifiers attached to a phrase in the form of "a [modifier] X or a Y" or "a [modifier] X and a Y" modify only the first thing in the phrase; they do not carry over the "a." Example: "A Shadowlands Shugenja or a Monk" does not imply that the Monk has to be Shadowlands.
Thanks for the help!
