Greetings,
Questons about Crane Champion and other crane related stuff
If the Crane Champion is in play and the player has brought all winds in except the Black Heart what happens if that player puts Ring of Fire into play using the Voice ablity and then the Champion gets destroyed?
Diamond Edition rulebook, pg. 70: nothing.
Does the Ring stay?
Yes.
If so does all the Wind effects on the Ring go away [?]
No.
Can Keen Eye negate Flee to Darkness when a battle duel challenges an opposing personality?
Yes.
What happens they both die?
Winners don't normally die.
Do both players gain the 5 honor?
If there's an honor gain, yes.
Is there just no loser at all?
Yes.
Another stupid question
When basic Bayushi Kaukatsu copies your honor loss to another player, do all restrictions of that honor loss apply?
Yes.
Invasion Question
If I have a Naval personality with one Naval follower attached, under what scenario could I play Invasion, and what ends up happening:
The personality and follower are both unbowed. Am I correct in assuming both cards would end up bowed?
Yes.
The personality is unbowed, and the follower is bowed. Am I correct in assuming I can play Invasion and bow the personality?
Yes.
The personality is bowed, and the follower is unbowed. Am I correct in assuming I can play Invasion and bow the follower?
No.
Rend the soul question for JEFF
What happens if Two Doji Rejus duel each other and both focus a rend the soul?
See Rules Archive, Rend the Soul.
Reactions/Cancellation
Player A has a Phoenix shugenja with Kuro's Fire and the Isawa House guard. Player B has Fall on your Knees.
"A" Kuro's fire the army of "B", then uses the Isawa House Guard's reaction to straighten the personality. B uses Fall on Your Knees to cancel the reaction.
The argument from A is that since it was cancelled, he can immediately use the reaction again because it was considered to not have happened at all.
Providing the cost for bowing is waived, it can.
Rules questions.
If the Political Open action on the Underhand of the Emperor is cancelled, does the player who attempted to play the action get to keep the favour?
No. Discarding is a cost. This is an erratum.
Can Outmaneuvered in Court be cancelled with Fall on your Knees?
No. Wrong segment.
The two [Moto] Latomus are switched [.] Can both of them make the ranged attacks[?]
Yes.
Overconfidence and Wedge. . .
Can I bow a Wedging Personality with Overconfidence [?]
Yes.
accept with honor + dismissed ?
If somebody challenges me, can I accept with honor then negate the challenge with dismissed?
No. If you've accepted a challenge, you've just gone into "entering a duel."
