Rules for 21 June 2001
if I Force of Will a personality, who is honorable, and then he is dishonored, will he be killed at the end of the turn when his stats switch back?
No. The current stats don't reverse again. The spell's effect simply ends, and you go back to figuring stats as normal.
What does that mean? The spell Force of Will has a time limit, until end of turn, and then the stats (personal honor and chi) switch back. The question had to do with the fact that the personalities current personal honor at the end of the turn IS 0. So, I guess I'm asking, do you use his current personal honor, or his permanent personal honor, when you switch them back?
You go back to figuring his Chi and Personal Honor as though Force of Will had never happened. You do not re-swap their new current values.
Shiba Raigen Q
Zen,Vaughn,Jeff.
card weording needed for this discussion:
Shiba Raigen Phoenix Clan Yojimbo. Samurai. Reaction: Bow Raigen when an action targets one of your Shugenja. If Raigen is a legal target for the action, redirect the action to Raigen. If the Shugenja is in an army, Raigen must be in the same army to take this action.
Force of honour Political Battle: Target two attacking units. If the attacker has more family honor and more provinces than the defender, send the units home bowed.
I'm wondering if Shiba Raigen's 'jump in the way' ability is targetted.
Currently, no, in the same way as Feign Death is not.
From what I see there are 3 options:
a) Shiba Raigen is targetted (with all it's implications) b) Shiba Raigen can chose targets in this situation without being targetted (more implications) c) Shiba Raigen cannot be used in this situation (my current favourite choice)
It's currently b). It will be c) once Gold comes out.
