Rules Q&A
- Q: Based on this ruling: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=91260
So just to be clear, I can now target my Wedged personalities with actions that are performed by him, but don't actually target him, such as Impetuous Challenge?
Wedge: Battle: Target your Personality: You may not target cards in his unit with actions until after this battle ends. After this battle’s Resolution Segment begins, double his Force and the Force of each Follower in his unit. Destroy him after the battle ends.
Impetuous Challenge: Battle: Choose your performing unbowed Personality: He challenges a target enemy Personality. Bow the duel’s loser’s unit.
Or any other action that similarly is performed by a personality, but does not explicitly target?
A: Yes.
Choosing a performer is not targeting. Alex Jones, "Wedge and Targeting", 1 Jun 2011 - Q: If a Hero loses a duel and did not focus, can he use Strength of the Bamboo to prevent his destruction from the Focus Effect?
A: It's not an action, and it's not targeting the Hero, so that's a "No" twice over. Zen Faulkes, "Impetuous Challenge vs. Strength of the Bamboo", 6 Jun 2010
