Rules Q&A
- Q: My opponent plays Crippling Weather. And eventually two of my units are bowed. I have a third commander and I play Do Not Turn Your Back! to straighten two units. My commander must now bow to Crippling Weather's effect. I argued that My other two personalities do not have to bow.
A: So this question is, "Do the personalities straightened by Do Not Turn Your Back! perform an action?"
No. See: http://rules.l5r.com/CE_FAQ#What_performs_an_action.3F Zen Faulkes, "Do Not Turn Your Back!", 10 Mar 2011 - Q: Hi there,
For the purpose of playing Ring of Water, would playing Do Not Turn Your Back's first action on a straightened personality count as succesful?
Thanks!
A: If no straightening actually occurs, the action is not successful.
It would not count for Ring of Water. Dan Jacobson, "Do Not Turn Your Back and Ring of Water", 10 Sep 2009
