Pale Oak Castle

L5R CCG Rules board, 5 February 2009

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.

I looked here and used the search forum, but I didn't see anything.

My question is: for the use of cards like Rain Of Death or Forward Sentries is the additional text on Void/Water shugenja considered "printed on" the cards?

No.

Printed: Means the same as “base,” even on cards that do not literally have their base stats printed.

Base: "Base" refers to a stat, keyword, ability, or trait that exists on a card or other entity as printed (following the most recent printing) or initially created, without modifications from effects.

And Pale Oak Castle's effects modify the Personalities.
