Fu Leng's Guidance vs. used effects

L5R CCG Rules board, 13 December 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 all,

Player A control's Fu Leng's Guidance and multiple units. Player B controls multiple units. Here's the question:

Player B previously uses the printed battle action on a Personality. That Personality is destroyed by Player A by an action, and Player reacts with Fu Leng's Guidance to bring that Personality into play. Can Player A use that revived Personality's printed battle action? Or is it the case that the game's memory of that action being used is not reset?

Thanks.

For card memory to be reset, two things have to happen:

1) The card must be out of play, AND 2) The card must be face down.

Personalities in discard piles are face up, so card memory is not lost.

I'll also point out this is in the FAQ, here:
