Target a unit, and Performing

L5R CCG Rules board, 30 June 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 have noticed a few Strategy cards whose constraints block says "Target a unit:".

The Glossary entry for Perform says that a Personality or Follower performs an action if it is targetted in the constraints block, but targetting a Unit is not quite the same. So, who performs such an action? The Personality? Its Followers? All together? Is it, non-intuitively, not Performed?

Personality performs the action.
