Rules Q&A
- Q: Suspended Terrain: Delayed Terrain Battle: When the Resolution Segment for this battle ends, bow all units still in it. This bowing is not a result of battle and cannot be negated. These units cannot straighten during their controllers' next Straighten Phases. --------- My Father's Weapon: Weapon Straighten this Personality at the end of the turn you bring in My Father's Weapon into play. ----------
I had played My Father's Weapon on a personality. That personality participated in a battle in which Suspended Terrain resolved. At the end of my turn, my opponent and I had a discussion with the result that I convinced him that Suspended Terrain wouldn't prevent the straightening effect from My Father's Weapon because it was happening at the end of my turn and not during my next straighten phase as specified by Suspended Terrain.
Was I correct?
A: Yes. [card text] Jeff Alexander, "rules for 10 Feb. 2004", 11 Feb 2004 - Q: This happened last night. I used Hideyo's Limited action to attach a follower. I then attached My Father's Weapon to Hideyo. Which is it? Does he straighten at the end of the turn because of the weapon or does he not because of his own ability?
A: He does not straighten. His trait forbids straigtening, and unless you use an effect which will straighten cards that can't normally be straightened, nothing will save him. Vaughn Derderian, "Rulings for January 5th", 6 Jan 2003
