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 Togashi's Guidance in play. I have 5 cards in hand, my opponent has 2 cards in hand.
I want to discard Ring of the Void for its effect (which would be no effect because i have more cards in hand), and then react with Togashi's Guidance to put the Ring of the Void into play.
I think this is a legal action, but a friend of mine thinks this violates the "good faith" rule, saying that you can't take the action of Ring of the Void for no effect.
Thoughts?

Fine.
This is a variation of, "Is an action legal if an effect can't happen?" This is a question that is often -- indeed, one might even say frequently -- asked. As such, it can be found here: http://rules.l5r.com/CE_FAQ#Is_an_actio ... _happen.3F
The Good Faith rule concerns targeting and costs, not effects. http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Abilities_and_a ... Faith_Rule
