Ryoshun's Guidance + the Shadow's Lair XP

L5R CCG Rules board, 19 March 2012 to 20 March 2012

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.

I didn't ask this question clearly enough:

I'm playing Shadow's Lair and my opponent has Ryoshun's Guidance in play.

He attacks me with 2 4-Force personalities.

I target both with the stronghold.

He attempts to react with Ryoshun's Guidance to put all targeting on one (instead of 2).

Does his redirection off of both to just one work?

No.

See Glossary, Targetting: When multiple targets are chosen simultaneously, the same target cannot be chosen twice. This also means that when one target out of multiple, already-chosen targets is being changed, another one of those already-chosen targets cannot legally become the new target.
