Rules Q&A

• Q: Champion of Thunder: Does "this" card only mean actions on Champion of Thunder are negated or the card that was targeted?
  A: The former. Champion of Thunder protects itself, not so much other cards.
  http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Glossary_T#This: "'This card' refers to the card itself."
  http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Special_wording ... References: "Most simply, references to 'this card' or 'this (card type)' refer to the card itself." Zen Faulkes, "Champion of Thunder", 15 Oct 2011
• Q: hiho
  what happens if a personality that has Champion of thunder attached is targeted by a unit sendhome action or an action that is only targetting the personality (eg favor, tsuruchi sanjo) and i use the reaction of the Champion of thunder.
  Champion of thunder Thunder • Cavalry • Storm Rider Enters play paying 1 less Gold if you are a Mantis Clan player. Reaction: After another player's action targets a card in this unit: Negate the action's effects on this card. Battle: Ranged 6 Attack.
  Favor Political Battle: Discard the Imperial Favor: Move a target attacking enemy unit home.
  Sanjo Battle: Target a Personality with lower Personal Honor than Sanjo's Chi. Move him home.
  I mean a follower cant stay alone at a battlefield or ?
  same situation with Daigotsu Xp 3 and Enticement
  Daigotsu Battle: Permanently give a target enemy personality with lower Chi Shadowlands. He succumbs to the Dark Lord's will. Take control of him (if you do so, he joins your army). If you now control him, destroy him after this battle ends.
  Enticement Open: Pay Gold equal to the total Gold Cost of the targeted Personality's unit: Lose 3 Honor. Take control of a target Personality. While you control him, you may not assign his unit to attack and he will not move to attack. Before this turn ends, give control of him to his owner.
  does he control the personality and do i control the follower ? and if so ... can i use the follower to perform a ranged 6 on one of his personalities (would be some kind of mutiny or ? ^^)
  A: In both instances, the moving of the Follower or the changing of its control are not effects of the action, but rather effects of the rulebook, based upon the fact it is attached to the affected Personality. Champion of Thunder will negate no part the examples you gave. Brook Cunningham, "Champion of Thunder vs Favor/Daigotsu", 7 Sep 2011
