Rules Q&A
- Q: If a personality has been targeted by Plains of Resolution then targeted by Shoshuro Akemi, can the personality that has been targeted by plains take the option to reduce his force but not actually have the force reduction happen due to the plains of resolution having targeted the personality already(?)
A: http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Effects#Choices: "A choice may be made even if its consequences would be negated, prevented, or otherwise fail due to lack of suitable things to affect."
