Rules Q&A
- Q: In Nue's example, if the Yumi is destroyed for the two RA's, can the Master's Guard redirect if the first RA would kill it? How can the second RA target it if it is not a legal target (as the Follower is no longer in play)?
A: I'm pretty sure both targets would be chosen in the choose targets step. I admit, I'd have to look it up in the CR (which I don't have handy right now) to be 100% sure that the second doesn't happen later, now that you bring it up, but I don't think it does.
