Rules Q&A
- Q: 1. I have Hitomi Mae and Ring of Fire in play. Mae starts a duel with personality with weapon. Can I use her reaction to destroy opponents weapon, and then use her second reaction to gain first opportunity to focus or strike (opponent has more Chi)?
A: You can use both Separate Reactions in turn. Just remember that the opportunity passes left after your first attempt, so everyone else gets a crack at Reactions the same trigger before you get your second Reaction in there. Martin Lund, "Rules for 13 May 2004", 16 May 2004 - Q: Could you test of might a personality with more chi than Hitomi Mae and then because of his ability choose to focus first and then just strike instead of focusing.
A: Yes (card text). Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 6 December 2003", 6 Dec 2003 - Q: Does "When Mae enters a duel" occur before "Dotanuki gains +2C while this Personality opposes a Personality with less Force in a duel."?
A: No. Traits take effect before Reactions (http://l5r.alderac.com/rulings/#Timing). Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 14 November 2003", 14 Nov 2003 - Q: Say [Hitomi Mae] has 5 chi with the help of an item and her opponent has 4chi + 2chi from a weapon. I have the Ring of Fire in play. Can I destroy the weapon, and still have the first opportunity to focus or strike since the opposing personality had higher chi when Mae entered the duel?
A: Yes. Just announce them in the right order. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 5 November 2003, Part 2", 6 Nov 2003
