Rules Q&A
- Q: So there's some discussion about Void Tattoo on the Dragon mailing list, and it's gotten me a little paranoid...
"Limited: Target one of your Personalities with the Tattooed trait and without a Tattoo of the Void. For the rest of the game, the Personality has a Tattoo of the Void, andmay not be targeted with actions while he or she is in an army unless the action's player discards a card as an additional cost of the action, and does not count towards whether or not his or her controller has units in a battle."
The above text is from L5RSearch, so it may not be TOTALLY accurate, but let's go with it.
If I have a personality with a Void Tattoo and a battle action, like Hitomi Maya and her ranged attack schtick, can that personality take that action if they're in battle? Same applies to said personality with a follower that has a battle action. Because the personality with the Void Tattoo doesn't count towards whether or not you have units in the battle, can you use battle actions on cards in a unit led by a personality with a Void Tattoo?
If you can't, that makes the tattoo pretty... well, pretty useless, frankly. Jeff?
A: When a Personality has a Tattoo of the Void, that unit does not count towards Presence or for any other card or effect that requires you to have a Personality in the battle, such as Barbarian Horde or declaring a naval invasion. But it is still there, can still be targeted and affected by things, and can still use its actions. Jeff Alexander, "post for 27-28 May 2003", 29 May 2003
