Rules Q&A
- Q: If I slap a Sword of Gales, which says "this personality has a mimimum chi equal to his printed chi" onto Bayushi Kamnan, am I still able to meet the cost of losing 2 chi to use Kamnan's ability?
A: If an effect prevents you from actually having Kamnan's Chi wind up 2 lower than where it was when you started to pay, you've failed to pay the cost. Martin Lund, "Rules for 12 December 2004", 15 Dec 2004 - Q: Shiba Aikune : Open, once per turn target any number of your shugenja to raise Aikune's force and lower his chi
Sword of Gales : This personality has a minimum chi equal to his printed chi.
Can I then raise Aikune's force by as many shugenja as i like without it ever dropping below 5? Or is it an illegal action as you know the second part of the action will fail due to the sword?
A: Yes. There is no rule that all effects must resolve. Zen Faulkes, "Shiba Aikune + Sword Of Gales", 15 Mar 2005
