Orochi Sensei and card names

L5R CCG Rules board, 10 September 2012 to 11 September 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.

When I remove a Storm Rider from my discard pile with Orochi Sensei's ability to attach a "Follower with the same base Force and abilities as the removed Personality", can I still use abilities that refer to the removed card by its name?

When I remove a Storm Rider from my discard pile with Orochi Sensei's ability to attach a "Follower with the same base Force and abilities as the removed Personality", can I still use abilities that refer to the removed card by its name?

Well, it seems in retrospect, Orochi Sensei didn't really work properly even contemporarily, but everyone pretty much ignored that, knowing its intent.

So, I've altered its Oracle entry to better reflect its mechanics properly.
