A player, 4 January 2009
Hi,
My opponent announces Naval and attaches Taoist Archer as his Naval action. I pass. He then plays the Ranged 5 attack from his Taoist Archer. I then play Reinforce the Gates. He then announces Determination.
Rule was cited viewtopic.php?p=941881#p941881. I know that this is still under discussion, but has a decision been reached for this rule yet?
Thanks!
Determination Dark Virtue Reaction : Before you announce an action, target one of your Samurai: The action can not have its effects negated or have its targeting changed. After the action destroys any Personality, remove him from the game.
Reinforce the Gates Reaction : After a player announces a Battle action before the Defender's first normal opportunity to act or pass: Negate the action's effects.

This is still under discussion.
Thank you for your patience.
For now, however, please refer to Zen's original ruling when dealing with Determination vs. Reinforce the Gates.
