So I keep getting a "page not found" when trying to use the search, so apologies if this HAS been posted before, I tried to use the search function first >.>
If my opponent plays Sneak Attack, and then follows it up with a battle action, which I Reinforce the Gates
Does it "successfully" resolve, for the purposes of, for example, Pillars of Virtue, or is it considered unsuccessful?
Thanks in advance!

The last cards in L5R to care about "successful" resolution were the CE printings of the Rings of Air, Water, and Void.
As of their MRPs in... forgive me, I forget if it was Path of the Destroyer or The Harbinger... "successful" was removed from their text and is no longer a term or distinction that we will be using.
So, for any CE-legal card including Pillars of Virtue, it doesn't matter if any of an action's effects actually occur; it still always "resolves" if legally taken, and will trigger effects that happen due to such.
