Rules for 17 October 2003
A rules digest from the L5R CCG rules team, copied from the mailing list archive for Oracle of the Void. The askers' names are left out. Rulings are as they stood on this date; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.
Greetings,
Rule question
Do the elemental items work off of the dark rings.
Yes (Keyword rule, Gold Edition rulebook, pg. 33).
Ruling Reversal Request (ZEN/JEFF)
however, if my memory regarding the rules on what is considered "attached" is accurate, Sozen is NOT attached to himself (per ruling on In Search of the Future that cards are not considered attached to themselves) and is thus STILL protected by his trait.
Whoops. I missed the word "attached" in that card text. (I understood fine, I just had incomplete information!) If a player chooses option one for Sorrow's Path, Sozen will live.
Q: Towers of the Asako&(Announce action, pick targets, pay costs, resolve effects)
if I play Kolat Master on a Towers of the Asako Samurai, and the action is canceled, the pay of 10 gold is no necessary? and if I play To do what we must, my personality survives?
No. See Rules Archive, General Rule, Canceling and Negation (http://l5r.alderac.com/rulings/#Cancel).
And if instead Towers of the Asako, the other player uses Hamanari?
Same answer.
