Rules Q&A

• Q: (W)hat is the difference between Concentrated Fire and Dramatic Assassination?
  A: I'm assuming you['re referring to this FAQ question: http://rules.l5r.com/CE_FAQ#What_happen ... ld_cost.3F
  Concentrated Fire affects who is targeted; the FAQ on Dramatic Assassination concerns costs (which is not just gold payment, but any kind of cost).
  Selection of targets and performers always comes before cost payments, and they have different rules because of that (see http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Abilities_and_a ... performing). Zen Faulkes, "Concentrated Fire and Chugo Seido", 14 Mar 2011
• Q: Crab player have two scouts in play Hiruma A with 3F and Hiruma B with 4F. Lion player also controls two personalities, Akodo C with 2F and Akodo D with 3F. Crab announces Concentrated Fire, chooses to bow A and is going to destroy target C. Lion player reacts and would like to use Chugo Seido to redirect this action for D. Is it possible?
  Concentrated Fire 4 GC Open: Bow one or more of your performing Scout Personalities: Destroy a target enemy Follower, or Personality without attachments, with lower Force than your Scouts' total Force.
  Chugo Seido Reaction: When another player's action would target one of your Personalities, destroy this card: The action instead targets one of your Samurai of your choice at the same location, if legal.
  A: No. Akodo D is not a valid target for Concentrated Fire when performed by Hiruma A because he doesn't have lower force than the Scout's Force; Chugo Seido cannot redirect the target to him. Alex Jones, "Concentrated Fire and Chugo Seido", 14 Mar 2011
