remove from the game + attachments

L5R CCG Rules board, 16 August 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.

Hi there!!!

After a big search I haven't found a thread about the situation of a personality that is removed from the game and what happens to its attachments.I remember that during the Diamond era all the attachment follower their personalities fate and got removed from the game to.

Is there any change about that in Celestial edition?

Thanks a lot in response!

Nope. No change from Diamond to Lotus to Samurai to Celestial.

http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Card_types#Attachments: "When a Personality leaves play, all his attached cards leave play in the same manner as he did. This leaving play is a rulebook effect contingent on the effect that took the Personality out of play, so the attachments are destroyed "for" (as a consequence of) the original effect, but not "by" the original effect."
