After each time he assigns this turn, he suffers –2F/–1C and gains the Shadowlands keyword (until the end of the turn).” [MRP, Samurai Edition, 25 July 2007] Comprehensive Rules, Samurai Edition, with specific card rulings, final version, May 2009, p. 127
Rules Q&A
- Q: Adeiko's ability says "after the effects resolve". Kyuichi's abuility says "after an action resolves".
A: These two wordings have the same timing. http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_R#Resolve: "An action... stops resolving when its sequence of effect activation has ended, even if the application of some effects has been delayed." Zen Faulkes, "Shosuro Kyuichi and Chuda Rintaro", 2 Dec 2007 - Q: If I were playing Spider and entered a duel using Chuda Rintaro(who has no entering-play honor loss), would Death of Virtue Style give me 2 focus or 5(2+3, as there is no entering-play honor loss to choose)?
Thanks.
A: An unspecified value is treated as "0" when it is referenced. 0 < 3, so you'd have a 2FV card. Martin Lund, "Death of Virtue Style and Rintaro", 9 Nov 2007 - Q: chuda rintaro targets kaakita hideo with the open ability printed on him. durring the attack phase obsidian dragon assigns to a province durring infantry. if kakita hideo assigns opposing the dragon does (he/she) die from 0 chi or what happens? acording to samury rules please :p
Chuda Rintaro Force/Chi: 3 / 3 Ho/Co/PH: - / 7 / 0 Spider Clan. Shugenja. Shadowlands. Open: Target another player's Personality: After each time he assigns this turn, he suffers -2F/-1C and gains the Shadowlands keyword (until the end of the turn).
Obsidian Dragon Force/Chi: 6 / 4 Ho/Co/PH: - / 10 / 0 Nonhuman. Dragon. Shugenja. Cavalry. Unique. Can not attach Items or Followers. Non-Unique Personalities have a Force and Chi penalty equal to their own Personal Honor while they oppose Obsidian Dragon; this will not reduce Chi below 1.
Kakita Hideo Force/Chi: 1 / 3 Ho/Co/PH: 0 / 4 / 3 Crane Clan. Samurai. Duelist.
A: The Shadow Dragon's effect kicks in as soon as someone is opposed to him. That'll typically be considered to happen prior to any triggered effect or Reaction that is timed "after" whatever event transpired.
So in this case the Crane Samurai would assign and upon assignment he would be at 1 Chi. After that, the Chuda's curse would then trigger, afflicting him with a fatal Chi penalty. Martin Lund, "timing affter assigne vs while opposed!", 30 Jul 2007
