Rulings
- Its effect ends when the ninja action begins. [DW, email, 16 September 1998] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 32
- Because targeting precedes taking the action, a ninja affected by Shinobi can target a personality that could normally not be targeted by ninja (e.g., Experienced 2 Bayushi Kachiko). [ZF, netnews, 4 September 2000] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 32
- If a Shinobi-violating action is cancelled, Shinobi's effect reinstates itself since cancelled actions aren't considered to have happened. Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 53
