Rules Q&A

• Q: So fire shugenja has call the Inferno and burn the mind. Fire shugenja cast call the Inferno. Combines with burn the mind. Ra 8. Target personality with followers. Kill.
  A: Not legal. Burn must be able to also legally target. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 13 Oct 2023
• Q: So, if I'm reading it right then, Call the Inferno could target a Personality with Followers, thus bypassing that shielding, but Burn the Mind couldn't, so they wouldn't stack in that situation for BtM's bow
  But they could stack on a Personality without Followers as usual, and BtM would bow it
  A: Yeah, the Rules are a little unclear on this. They say the combining Interrupt adds its strength (with any modifications). Now, that could be interpreted as modifications just to the strength, or all modifications to the attack effect. I believe it means and has been ruled as the latter, so it would bow instead of destroying. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 12 Oct 2023
• Q: If I were to use. All the Inferno to hit a personality, and combine it with burn the mind, would both "bonus" effects trigger too?
  A: All combined RAs need to be able to target the same target legally independently.
  And it seems Kempy and I are disagreeing if the Burn effect carries over. It's the fault of unclear CR, but the targeting thing is clear. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 12 Oct 2023
