Rules Q&A

• Q: So, there's an ongoing argument in several threads on FB about the interaction of Ring of Earth with Journey's End Keep or the Shadow's Lair.
  Will the Ring of Earth stop movement from JEK or TSL?
  (My personal belief - after looking over the comprehensive rules - is that it will stop the movement. My rationale:
  From the CR: Can not, cannot: These words mean that an effect is prevented (see p. 38). [<---should this be 58?]
  From the CR: Negate: A word used to indicate a prevention effect (p. 58). “Negate an action” means to prevent all the action’s effects and targeting, from the time the negation is applied.
  From the CR: Prevention: A prevention effect is one that uses language such as “negate,” “cannot,” “does not,” or “will not”. While a prevention effect lasts, it makes another effect or type of effect fail to happen whenever it would occur. When an ongoing type of effect is prevented (for example, “Negate all Force bonuses on him”), this only suppresses existing effects for as long as the prevention lasts; it does not prevent new ones from applying. When an instant type of effect is prevented (for example, “Negate his destruction”) this prevents new effects of that type for as long as the negation effect lasts.
  JEK and TSL specifically say that the actions effects won't be NEGATED. Negation is a type of prevention, but according to the CR, not all prevention effects are negation [some of them are indicated by cannot/does not/will not instead]. RoE prevents the effects without negating them.
  I could be wrong, but I want to make sure.)
  A: Per the CR entry on Prevention, all forms of Prevention are interchangeable. Therefore Journey's End Keep's "will not be negated" stops Ring of Earth's "cannot". Jon Palmer, "Ring of Earth and Old SH", 5 Jan 2015
• Q: Can you negate the action from Journey's End Keep with Footsteps of Madness?
  A: Nope.
  The "will not be negated" portion is not an effect itself, but rather modifies the effect it succeeds. Brook Cunningham, "Footsteps of Madness vs Journey's End Keep", 29 Mar 2012
• Q: Can the personality use the ability on JEK on himself? Thanks in advance.
  A: As only one Personality is being targeted in Journey's End Keep's ability, yes, you may have your unbowed Personality perform the action, targeting itself, and send itself home. Jon Palmer, "Journey's End Keep ability on people you own?", 5 Feb 2012
