Rules Q&A

• Q: I have a couple card usage questions under Yodin Sensei.
  Yodin Sensei reads: You cannot target other players' personalities with card effects. The player or players with the most personalities in play cannot bring a personality into play if he or she has brought one into play this turn.
  My questions deal with the bold faced line. Do the effects of the following cards work against opposing players since they don't specificly state that you target, and are more or less global?
  Fields of Foolish Pride (action) 0 Delayed Terrain Battle: Even if you control no units at the current battlefield: Give each personality at the current battlefield -2F. Give each follower there -1F. Focus 1
  Mysterious Deaths (action) 6 gold cost Kolat Limited: Lose 4 honor. Destroy each players lowest Gold Cost Unit. If any player has more than one unit tied for lowest Gold Cost, he chooses which of his units is destroyed. Remove this card from the game. Focus 1

  A: The two cards you reference could be played by a Yodin Sensei player and still affect opponents' cards.
  For cards printed in Dawn of the Empire or later, their effects only target if they explicitly say "target". Both of your examples were printed after Dawn and do not say "target"; therefore, they don't. Brook Cunningham, "Yodin Sensei questions", 16 Jun 2008
