The Blasted Lands and Shosuro Kyuichi

L5R CCG Rules board, 15 August 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.

Searched for this, but couldn't come up with much that answers the questions. Thanks.

Quick question: Does Shosuro Kyuichi's reaction happen if a person is brought into play from a province with The Blasted Lands region attached?

Quicker question: Is The Blasted Lands token attached (via the rule book) or is it an action?

The Blasted Lands Unique • Wasteland After this card turns face-up in one of your provinces, if you are a Scorpion Clan player: Destroy all cards attached to another player's target province and attach this card to it. After a Personality enters play from this province: Give him a -1F/-1C Corruption token.

Shosuro Kyuichi Scorpion Clan • Ninja • Duelist Reaction: After an action resolves that gave a Personality a Chi penalty (including penalties from tokens): Give the Personality a -1F/-1C Poison token.

Not an action. No. (Action = Limited, Open, Battle, Reaction.)

Is The Blasted Lands token attached (via the rule book) or is it an action?

Neither. It's an effect of a trait.
