Rules Q&A
- Q: Since I'm in a question asking mood.
Utaku Jin-Lao is at a battlefield with an Iron Fan opposed by some 3F Lion guy. The Lion player takes an action that his personality performs to target Jin-Lao. I react with Iron Fan to give the Lion guy force penalty, which drops his force to zero, and then I react with Jin-Lao to stop the personality from performing actions. What happens to the Lion player's original action? Does it fizzle because Lion guy can't perform actions? Or does it work because the performing has already happened, and now we're just resolving effects?
Utaku Jin-Lao: Reaction: After the resolution of an action that gave a Personality opposing Jin-lao a Force penalty, if the Personality's Force is now 0: Target the Personality. He may not perform actions.
Iron Fan: Reaction: After another player's Battle action targets this Personality: Give a target enemy Personality or Follower -3F.
Thank you rules team!
A: The Personality taking the original action has already been chosen as the performer; Jin-Lao's action will not affect that. He may not perform any further actions, however. Alex Jones, "Utaku Jin-Lao + Iron Fan", 8 Jul 2011
