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.
If I use the Battle action on Yoritomo Sunagawa to bow a follow on another personality who has Tsuruchi's Legacy equipped would the Ranged Attack get the +1 Strength or would Sunagawa himself need to be wielding the Legacy?
Thank you!
Yoritomo Sunagawa Battle: Bow your target Follower: Ranged Attack with strength equal to the Follower's Force.
Tsuruchi's Legacy Ranged Attacks from other cards in this unit have +1 strength.

The Ranged Attack is thus "from" Yoritomo Sunagawa, ragardless of what Follower is bowed. Thus, Tsuruchi's Legacy will only affect a Ranged Attack taken using Yoritomo Sunagawa's ability if it is attached to Yoritomo Sunagawa.
