Rulings
- Q: Can I attach a Kolat Bodyguard to a bowed Personality controlled by an opponent? I'm not targetting my own bowed Personality, so it should be legal. A: No. Attaching cards requires that the Personality be unbowed irrespective of targetting (p. 25). Legend of the Five Rings FAQ, Version 3.6.2, May 1998, p. 18
Rules Q&A
- Q: 3. Is the Limited duelling action of Kolat Bodyguard considered a Kolat action, taken by the personality challenging the personality with Kolat Bodyguard?
A: It IS taken by the Personality bowing to issue the challenge, but it is not (necessarily) a Kolat action. To use Vaughn's term, it's a "floating action" -- it's something new that players can do but which isn't actually copied onto any of their cards.
