Rules Q&A
- Q: In reference to viewtopic.php?f=59&t=79323
Specifically to: "Would he then have to discard a card?"
The answer is "Only if he wishes for the action to succeed.", correct?
The opponent could elect to not discard a card, and have the action fail, yes?
thanks, Andrew
A: That's correct. Zen Faulkes, "Eternal Armor questions", 26 Sep 2009 - Q: I have an Eternal Armor and its personality was targeted by another player's battle action. Can I now transfer the armor to another personality... would the opponent then have to discard another card to target that new personality?
A: Yes. http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Special_wording ... References: "Attachments with triggered traits... referring to 'this Personality' refer to the Personality the card was attached to at the time when the trait was triggered(.)" Zen Faulkes, "Eternal Armor questions", 25 Sep 2009 - Q: If my personality with Eternal Armor is not targeted, but somebody else is, can I redirect the action to the one with the armor, for example with Imperial Command or Deflection?
A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Eternal Armor questions", 25 Sep 2009 - Q: Would he then have to discard a card?
A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Eternal Armor questions", 25 Sep 2009 - Q: If the personality with the armor is targeted first, can I wait for him to discard, and then play Imperial Command or Deflection?
A: No. They are both "would target," and Eternal Armor is triggered "after" targeting. It would always go last. Zen Faulkes, "Eternal Armor questions", 25 Sep 2009
