If the Focus Value of the discard is equal to or greater than this Personality's Chi, negate the action's effects and he may not perform the action again this turn, or negate the movement, or prevent the assignment and he may not be assigned to that battlefield this turn.
Limited: If this card is in your hand, target a Personality you do not control: Attach this card to him, paying all costs.

Rules Q&A

• Q: Here is another (OBH) rule question. Well, it is more like a confirmation for the Follower Haunted vs a personality who has a move ability like Shinjo Shono XP2 https://oracleofthevoid.com/#game=l5r,#cardid=3001 https://oracleofthevoid.com/#game=l5r,#cardid=6939
  Shinjo Shono has the follower. First, He tries to assign but the follower discard a card with a too high focus, so Shono cannot assign this turn, OK. Later in a battle action segment: Shinjo Shono performs his own moving battle action: "Battle: Even if Shono has been in an attacking army during battle resolution this phase: Move him to the current battlefield."
  Should the follower discard 1 o 2 cards? I would say 2 because one is because of performing the action and the other because of the move effect. Am I right ?
  Thanks in advance Here my last (OBH) rule question..... for today.
  It is about Razor's Edge Dojo. https://oracleofthevoid.com/#game=l5r,#cardid=6191
  First Case: I am playing against that stronghold and I have only 1 card in hand. I want to play that card which will target any of my opponent's personalities. The Razor's Edge Dojo makes me discard a card but I have no more in my hand. As I cannot discard, does it cancel my action?
  Second Case: I have no card in hand Can I use an action from one of my cards in play which will target any of my opponent's personalities? As I cannot discard, does it cancel my action?
  Thanks in advance!
  A: (Replying to a player: "Thanks Kempy, my doubt is a timing question. Isn't it the same timing that determine the "move" and "performing" that kind of actions? If yes, can the card trigger twice at the same time?") It's not quite the same timing. Before the effects resolve at all is before, and a separate trigger from, before the card moves, even if movement is the only effect of the action.
  In both cases, you can't announce those actions at all, knowing that you cannot fulfill the added condition of Razor's Edge Dojo. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 5 Jun 2026
