Ranged Attack 0 scenario

L5R CCG Rules board, 11 January 2011

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.

What happens if i target a personality/follower with 0F with a ranged attack of zero and the enemy player reacts with outer walls or the cost of pride to reduce the ranged attack's strength? Since it is already zero and can not be reduced any further does it still kill the 0F personality/follower? Thank you.

It does, for reason stated.
