Paying costs
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.

Strength of the Bamboo's Reaction does not change the target or otherwise interfere with mandatory costs as described under Abilities and actions, Interference with mandatory costs, so the costs of Dramatic Assassination must still be paid.
