• Erratum: Reads, "Daidoji Akagi 1F/3C 0HR 5G 2PH Crane Clan Samurai. Harrier. Soul of Daidoji Karasu. Battle: Bow Akagi: Ranged 2 Attack. Reaction: Before Akagi produces a Ranged Attack, even if he is bowed, discard a card: Increase the strength of the ranged attack by the Focus value of the discard."

Rules Q&A

• Q: My opponent is attacking me with an army that includes Daidoji Akagi basic. I defend, and on his opportunity to act he uses Akagis 'ranged 2 attack' ability. He passes his react, then on my opportunity to react, I play Outer Walls to reduce the RA by 2. He then claims he can use akagi's react to increase his RA, but I disagreed, claiming he already had his opportunity to react, and a reaction at this point would have to be a legal reaction to Outer Walls. Who is correct?
  A: In general, Reactions continue to go around the table until everyone passes.
  http://rules.l5r.com/Timing: "Reactions may now be taken following an action round procedure. Starting with the active player, each player in turn order has the option to take a Reaction to the trigger or pass. When all players pass consecutively, no more Reactions to that occurrence of the trigger may be taken." Zen Faulkes, "Daidoji Akagi/outer walls", 22 Apr 2008
• Q: if my opponent plays ruthless advance targeting my champ, let's say Doji Domotai x3 and i redirect through Seat of power to my Daidoji Akagi does my opponent have to pay 3g or 8g?
  A: http://rules.l5r.com/Rulings_R#Ruthless_Advance:
  "Cost is set after targeting. Therefore:
  "Cost need not be paid if changes occur after targeting (e.g., Kumade).
  "Cost must be paid if changes to the unit Gold cost occur, or a new unit is selected in the announcement step (e.g., Misdirection, Turn of Fortune) or in the targeting step by a triggered effect or Reaction with "would target" (e.g., Seat of Power) or "when targeting" (e.g., Shosuro Aroru Experienced) timing, unless the new cost exceeds a player's ability to pay it completely." Zen Faulkes, "ruthless advance", 16 Feb 2008
