Rules Q&A

• Q: These 2 rulings contradict each other.
  A: Not that I can see. Zen Faulkes, "Family Keep/Asako Mokichi Clarification", 20 Apr 2010
• Q: In Asako Mokichi's ruling, you say it has to explicitly state "exactly" or "only"(.)
  A: Yes, but that's not all that was said.
  The quoted ruling goes on to say, "or by mentioning two or more specific numbers such as 'zero or one.'"
  Family Keep mentions two or more specific numbers: "one or zero cards." Zen Faulkes, "Family Keep/Asako Mokichi Clarification", 20 Apr 2010
• Q: (I)n Family Keep you say it doesn't, because it's implied.
  A: No, the post doesn't say anything about "implied." It just used an example rather than citing a rule. Zen Faulkes, "Family Keep/Asako Mokichi Clarification", 20 Apr 2010
• Q: Surely in the absence (yet another!) technical errata, only one of these rulings can be correct?
  A: I'm not seeing a problem. Zen Faulkes, "Family Keep/Asako Mokichi Clarification", 20 Apr 2010
• Q: In relation to: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=83023 and viewtopic.php?f=59&t=83047
  These 2 rulings contradict each other. In Asako Mokichi's ruling, you say it has to explicitly state "exactly" or "only", but thenin Family Keep you say it doesn't, because it's implied. Surely in the absence (yet another!) technical errata, only one of these rulings can be correct?
  A: I admit, I didn't answer the question on Family Keep with the citation that Zen did for Mokichi.
  But if you'll notice, his rules citation completely backs up what I ruled to be the correct interpretation. Brook Cunningham, "Family Keep/Asako Mokichi Clarification", 20 Apr 2010
• Q: Will Asako Mokichi need to bow if two or three of the targeted personalities are shugenja?
  A: No.
  http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Special_wording ... _of_things: "If the presence of an exact number of things is being checked for, this will be noted by language such as 'exactly two' or 'only one,' or by mentioning two or more specific numbers such as 'zero or one.'"
