Two-Part Gold Production Trickery

L5R CCG Rules board, 13 June 2012 to 14 June 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. 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.

So, I have a two questions, the second of which is reliant on the answer to the first.

First: Can Luxurious Silk's Reaction be used to pay for Shinden Shorai's Limited action?

Second: Can Kalani's Landing be used to pay for Low Market's action?

Thank you!

The answer to both questions is "no".

The actions themselves have no cost at all; if they did, it would be between their first and second colons. The costs you will be paying are of/for the Personality and attachment themselves, respectively, and are NOT costs OF the action. So, that excludes Luxurious Silk and Kalani's Landing in your examples, due to the limitations on their Gold production.

When paying for the personality because of Sacrifice of Pawns does it count as an action? Do luxurious silks produce up to 4 gold for it or only 2?
