Rules for 22 October 2003

Zen Faulkes, sent 22 October 2003 to the l5r-ccg mailing list, the l5r-useful list

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,

amazingly stupid question

Player 1 attacks player 2, assigning to attack provinces A and B. Player 1 resolves Province A. Player 1 is allowed to cast a kiho (such as Chasing Osano-Wo) from a personality in Province B to affect a personality in Province A. Are they allowed to do the reverse? (Have a personality in Province A cast a kiho to affect Province B)?

Yes (Gold Edition rulebook, pg. 53).

Some (probably stupid) rules questions

Since you cancel the action when it targets, that's before costs are paid?

Costs must be paid anyway (Rules Archive, General Rules, Costs).

[A] Crane player uses the Egg of P'an Ku to copy his own Exp Kurohito. Next, the original Exp Kurohito loses a duel, perhaps to Toku, and dies. Can his Crane opponent: a. play an Egg if P'an Ku b. play Exp Kurohito

No to both. See the Egg of P'an Ku mini-FAQ, here: http://pages.sbcglobal.net/sarah-and-zen/l5r/zcotw~1.html#25

Is it true that the Dojicorp, Neo Shiba and Bayushi's Labyrinth strongholds will be released as box-toper promos?

"Outlook not so good." That's what my magic 8 ball says, anyway (http://www.indra.com/cgi-bin/magic-8-ball).

d[D]oes anyone have a guaranteed method for me to win every game of L5R I ever play?

Almost. I just have to figure out how to stop the goldfish from dropping the cards.

Kaede's Fan question

What about react[ion]s, like Kiyomi[.] would he gain 2 [honor] if he has Kaede's Fan ?

Reactions *are* actions (Gold Edition rulebook, pg. 47). Yes.
