Shinjo Technique & Hired Killer

L5R CCG Rules board, 18 March 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.

A player, 18 March 2009

Can I use Shinjo Technique (Reaction: Play when another player targets one of your personalities with an action card. Redirect the action to one of that player's Personalities, if a legal target is available) to redirect Hired Killer(Limited: Pay Gold equal to the target’s unit’s Gold Cost plus 2: Lose 3 Honor. Destroy a target Personality)?

Do I then have to pay the new target's gold cost?

This question has been asked before. Frequently, in fact.
