Rules Q&A
- Q: Also note that according to this new ruling, Hinome cannot move tokens off herself, unless the Kakita Ariteko ruling (IE, Ariteko can bow herself to rehonor herself) trumps it.
A: She can target herself with both of her abilities regardless of how the first ruling goes. This is a very old general rule: targets are chosen before costs are paid. Jeff Alexander, "post for 11 March 2003", 12 Mar 2003 - Q: And Kakita Ariteko could re-honor herself? Target herself, then bows....then, is not a legal target??? ufff....
A: Targeting is done before paying any costs, including bowing. Ariteko announces that she's going to re-honor herself, and then bows to pay the cost of the action. She's a legal target upon announcement and targeting, so it really doesn't matter if she is or not upon resolution. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for August 14th", 14 Aug 2001 - Q: b. Arrows From the Woods on say, Kakita Ariteko
A: Yup. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for November 27th", 27 Nov 2000
