Rules Q&A
- Q: You are playing ratling, your opponent plays direct assault. The opponent bows a unit with a follower. I have been told that Ikk'rt ability to cancel a followers action could then be used cancel the direct assault action but the unit still bows?
A: Ik'krt says, "Bow Ik'krt to cancel an action performed by an opposing Follower."
Page 71 of the Diamond Edition Rulebook says, "Actions which involve one or more Personalities or Followers in their cost, such as requiring them to bow or become dishonored, or which require targeting your own Personalities or Follower who meet certain conditions, such as being a Shugenja or a Tactician or having a Chi above 2, are performed by this cards."
Direct Assault's Ability says, "Battle: Bow one of your units in this battle to destroy an opposing unit or a Holding controlled by an opposing player."
Based on that information, Ik'krt can certainly cancel an attempt at using Direct Assault's ability so long as the player using the ability is paying the cost by bowing a unit containing followers.
As for the unit still bowing, remember that no costs are refunded when an Action is canceled. (Diamond Edition Rulebook, page 72) Martin Lund, "Rules for 21 July 2004", 23 Jul 2004
