Rules Q&A

• 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."

• Q: Hi, This came up today in a tournament and I was wondering if you could help:
  I have Daidoji Gempachi along with a 0 force 3 personal honor artisan and Doji Domotai XP3. In addition, I have a Castle Walls in play with only one province remaining. My opponent has an 8 Force unit opposing my army.
  If I use Gempachi's ability to boost the force of the Artisan, do any or all of these traits stack? If not, which ones would? Relevant text is below.
  Daidoji Gempachi Reaction: After Cavalry Maneuvers: Raise Gempachi's Force, and the Force of another target Personality in his army, to the Force of a target card opposing them
  Doji Domotai Your defending Crane Clan Personalities at Domotai's location have a Force bonus equal to their Personal Honor.
  Castle Walls If you are the Defender and have only one Province, your Personalities and Followers have +2F.
  Thanks for any help
  A: Include all current bonuses in the raised stat. Do not reapply any bonuses that are already figured into the raised stat. Zen Faulkes, "Gempachi and Force bonuses", 5 Aug 2007
