A player, 10 September 2012

What happens to the Ranged Attack?

Brook Cunningham (rules official), 11 September 2012

A player targets a Ranged Attack on Shosuro Saemon. Saemon's controler uses his reaction to attack a 1F Ninja Follower to Saemon.

What happens to the Ranged Attack?

Saemon would be destroyed. The Ranged Attack was legally targeted, and nothing about adding a Follower to him after that fact will negate or alter its effects (without specific text to that effect, ala Goju Yurishi or Snake Tattoo).
