Rulings
- Q: I want to use Isawa Moriko to move one of my opponent's units. Can I? And does she have to be in the battle? A: There are no restrictions on Moriko herself that she can only move your own units or that she has to be in the current battle, so, in general, the answers to these questions are "Yes" and "No". But... Isawa Moriko interacts more often with the Rules of Presence and Relevance than perhaps any other card in L5R history, and often one of those rules will restrict how Moriko can be used in a particular situation. With Moriko, there are three distinct cases that come up: 1. You have no one at all in the current battle. 2. You have one or more units in the current battle, but the Moriko you're using is somewhere else. 3. The Moriko you're using is in the current battle. In Case #1, the only legal use for Moriko is to move one of your own units into the current battle from another one. In Case #2, you can move a unit belonging to any player between the current battle and one of the other battles, in either direction. In Case #3, you can move a unit belonging to any player from any battle to any other battle. Legend of the Five Rings FAQ, April 26, 2004, p. 12
