Rules Q&A
- Q: I looked in the archives but it didn't fully answer the question. You wrote:
Only prevents Province destruction from battle resolution, not from card effects (e.g., Pointless Sacrifice). [ML, 29 November 2004]
Pointless Sacrifice
Reaction: Play as the Attacker after your army wins a battle against a DEFENDING ARMY to destroy that Province if your army's total Force is greater than the Provine's strength.
Would Aramasu's Pride allow you to forgo the clause of defending army or would a personality have to be opposing you in the raid itself?
Lion's Rampant also follows a clause like that and would it allow itself to be played?
A: The relevant Archive ruling is, "If there is no opposing army, the battle is only counted as a win for the purposes of the stronghold's own text, not any other effects (e.g., Rend the Soul)." Zen Faulkes, "Raiding and Card Rulings 2", 21 Mar 2005 - Q: With the cards: Pointless Sacrifice, and Lions Rampant, does it require you to still defeat actual personalities there(?)
