Rules Q&A
- Q: So to make it clear, using Inferno first and then combining with Burn will only increase the RA strength and not carry over the bow effect. But since Burn cannot target someone with followers, neither can Inferno. So you'd need multiple copies of Inferno or something like Steal the Candle's Flame which is an actual interrupt that add strength to MA or RA
A: Kempy's assertion is that the bow effect doesn't carry; I disagree, but the CR is unclear and precedential contemporary rulings can't be found, due to scarcity of this sort of this interaction in Ivory/20F. We agree about the targeting, though. An Onyx CR is in the works in which this will be addressed. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 13 Oct 2023 - Q: So fire shugenja has call the Inferno and burn the mind. Fire shugenja cast call the Inferno. Combines with burn the mind. Ra 8. Target personality with followers. Kill.
A: Not legal. Burn must be able to also legally target. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 13 Oct 2023 - Q: If I were to use. All the Inferno to hit a personality, and combine it with burn the mind, would both "bonus" effects trigger too?
A: All combined RAs need to be able to target the same target legally independently.
And it seems Kempy and I are disagreeing if the Burn effect carries over. It's the fault of unclear CR, but the targeting thing is clear. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 12 Oct 2023
