Rules Q&A
- Q: Is it legal to play Shadow Plays on Blowdarts for the force pump, making the force bonus immune to Shameful Injury? If so, is it also legal to use Takaharu's reaction to redirect an action that would target blowdarts, if the new target would be a legal choice?
A: Yes and yes.
There is no rule that limits "Ninja" to a particular card type. Zen Faulkes, "Shadow Plays - Takaharu - Keyword Interaction", 13 Apr 2011 - Q: Also in the category consistency: Poison Dartgun isn't a Weapon, but Blowdarts is... 🙄
A: Poison dartgun has a better PR manager. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 8 May 2025
