Rules Q&A
- Q: If I have only Personality with Talisman of Jigoku at the current battlefield and my opponent has 3 shadowlands persoanlities and he plays Flanked by Nightmares, does the action "fizzle"?
A: Fizzle is soooooo Magic:the Gathering in the 1990s.
Effects do not fizzle in L5R. They fail.
And yes, the effects of the action will fail. Zen Faulkes, "Talisman of Jigoku and Flanked By Nightmares", 4 Nov 2010 - Q: If I have two Personalities at the current battlefield, one that has Talisman of Jigoku, attached and my opponent has 3 shadowlands persoanlities and he plays Flanked by Nightmares, can I attempt to target the personality with Talisman of Jigoku attached to have the action "fizzle"?
A: http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Effects#.E2.80. ... t.E2.80.9D: "(I)f something is required to be chosen, a player is not allowed to choose an option that is currently prevented by 'may not; if there is another legal option to choose."
