Rules Q&A
- Q: Since the Ranged Attack is dependent on moving, is the target of the Ranged Attack not a required targeting? And therefore Shanyu may use his battle ability to move unopposed and have his RA effect fail, right?
A: http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Abilities_and_a ... _targeting: "If the condition of targeting is not currently known, but only becomes known after the required targeting step, the conditional targeting must be carried out if possible, but is not required.
"Example: In 'Move him home. If he moved, target another Personality,' the targeting of another Personality is not required or carried out in the required targeting step."
