Rules Q&A
- Q: Matsu Otsuko: If she is bowed and then she is destroyed, can she use her reaction?
A: Cards out of play are not bowed (http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Physically_mark ... nd_unbowed), so nothing prevents it. Zen Faulkes, "Matsu Otsuko+Being bowed+Destruction", 21 Mar 2011 - Q: Tsudo no Oni is attacking a province and Otsuko defends alone with no sneak attack being played. I play Calm (Before Death) targeting her and tsudo, please tell me if this is the right sequence of events
1. Targeting 2. Costs paid (Otsuko destroyed) 3. Reaction to destruction (reducing Tsudo's force to 0) 4. Resolution (Tsudo's force is subtracted by 4 again, it is still 0 and he is destroyed)
Is this correct?
A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Matsu Otsuko plus Calm Before Death", 2 Oct 2010
