Rules Q&A

• Q: If i use Isawa Shokuta's battle action, can i react with Kazumasa?
  A: No. There is no "kinda sorta close" keyword rule. Zen Faulkes, "Mountain and mountainer...", 8 Apr 2008
• Q: I use the battleaction on Seikitsu Mountains to move Kazumasa home from a battle. Can I trigger Kazumasa's reaction (due to the mountain keyword on Seikitsu) and straighten him/draw a card ?
  A: http://rules.l5r.com/Card_features#Keywords
  Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Kazumasa and Seikitsu mountains", 29 Jan 2008
• Q: Isn't the ruling just issued contrary to this entry in this Comphrensive Rules.
  A: No. Martin Lund, "Winter Storm and Kazumasa revisited", 18 Oct 2007
• Q: Resolve
  [ADDED 22 September 2007]
  1. An action or trait begins to resolve when its sequence of effect activation begins, assuming costs, targeting and conditions have been met. It stops resolving when its sequence of effect activation has ended, even if the application of some effects has been delayed.
  A: "It stops resolving when its sequence of effect activation has ended, even if the application of some effects has been delayed."
  Things like, "this next time [trigger X] happens, do [effect Y]," or "after each time [trigger A] happens, do [effect B]," are exactly the things that "even if the application of some effects has been delayed," refers to. They've already been activated (introduced to the game) when the Event resolves, but their particular Effects may not have been Triggered yet. Martin Lund, "Winter Storm and Kazumasa revisited", 18 Oct 2007
• Q: Winter Storm Winter Until the end of the game, after each time an attack is declared, each player targets two of his unbowed Personalities with a Gold Cost eqal to or less than his Stronghold's Gold Production plus 2. Bow them.
  Kazumasa Badger Clan • Samurai • Scout • Mountaineer • Advisor from the Shogun • Unique Reaction: After an action or Event with the Winter or Mountain keyword resolves, even if Kazumasa is bowed: Draw a card. Straighten Kazumasa.
  Do I get to draw a card and straighten Kazumasa each time an attack is declared when Winter Storm is in effect?
  A: No. "Produces an Effect," is not the same thing as "Resolves." The Event resolves one time (barring outside effects) during the Events Phase. Any On-Going Effects, Delayed Effects, Continuous Effects, Triggered Effects, or effects of the Event's Activated Abilities that may hang around after the fact don't change that.
