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.
With regards to this Current Ruling.
Based upon how this ruling reads, is the following scenario legal?
My opponent announces a political action, say Shosuro Maru XP2, targeting one of my personalities. I, in turn, bow one of my monks to play Brand of Fire and Thunder, and redirect his action to Bayushi Tsimaru XP (since the original source of targeting still remains my opponent).

Targets must still be legal.
Shosuro Maru exp2's ability is Political. Assuming you are not Maru's controller, Bayushi Tsimaru exp is not a legal target for the action.
You however, may choose to target Maru's controller's Bayushi Tsimaru exp with Brand of Fire and Thunder's Political Reaction.
