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.

Are tokens considered attachments for the purpose of defense against effects that target cards without attachments?

Are tokens considered attachments for the purpose of defense against effects that target cards without attachments?

No, tokens are not attachments.

Attachments are only defined as Followers, Items, and Spell cards.

(*and, in Legacy Format, the defunct Ancestor card type is also an Attachment)
