Rules Q&A
- Q: Pearl Magic reads... Kiho Battle: Bow one of your Naga Shugenja in this battle to make Ranged 2 Attacks targeting all opposing Followers and Personalities without Followers, in this battle. The Ranged Attack Strength cannot be raised.
Well, since it says right there in its own text that it does...
My reason for asking was since its hitting a BUNCH of things I was wondering if it was similar to Purity of the 7 Thunders and other blanket cards... I know it says target, but it also is hitting everything in a specific range (all personalities w/out followers and all followers) so I was wondering which way to go....
A: Targeting Rule #1 (do what the card says) comes before Targeting Rule #3 (global effects don't target), and the rules are read in order until you find the first one that applies. [p. 45] Jeff Alexander, "post for 22 May 2002", 23 May 2002 - Q: couple of questions that popped up during our sunday mulitplayer....
1. Does pearl magic target?
Pearl Magic reads... Kiho Battle: Bow one of your Naga Shugenja in this battle to make Ranged 2 Attacks targeting all opposing Followers and Personalities without Followers, in this battle. The Ranged Attack Strength cannot be raised.
A: Well, since it says right there in its own text that it does... Jeff Alexander, "post for 21 May 2002", 22 May 2002 - Q: b) KK's Journal is on an opposing Personality. Pearl Magic is used by you. Pearl Magic will not target bookboy, but can it be played in the first place, given that it cannot target him and there are other (non-cheese-shielded) Personalities?
A: It can't be played in the first place. Jeff Alexander, "post for 27 March 2002", 28 Mar 2002 - Q: Can I play [Pearl Magic] if there is a opposing personality with Kitsuki's K. Journal or with Iuchi Daiyu or Matsu Agetoki?
A: This one is under discussion by the Rules Junta. The old answer was yes, but that may change. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 8 August 2001", 10 Aug 2001
