Rules Q&A
- Q: Mantis Player has a sizeable force. Ronin player has unbowed Tamago. Chuuna bows and targets Tamago. Mantis player declares attack and assigns peeps. Ronin player uses Strike Quickly w/ Tamago. Tamago moves in, bows from Chuuna. ...
(C)an I use Strike Quickly with Tamago and use his ability, or no?
A: No.
http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Costs_and_restr ... ermissions: "A permission does not break rules that it doesn't specifically refer to.
"Example: 'Your target Infantry Personality may assign in Cavalry Maneuvers' does not allow a bowed unit to assign."
Similarly, being allowed to take an action to use a base ability does not mention "even if bowed", so it doesn't override that rule. Zen Faulkes, "Moshi Chuuna vs Strike Quickly", 2 Mar 2011 - Q: Is the Emerald Champion created by his Arrival a viable target for effects targeting Unaligned personalities such as Tamago's trait or The Badgers Live?
A: Well, I want to say first that neither The Badgers Live's nor Tamago's effects upon unaligned Personalities actually "target".
But, besides that, the Personality created by Arrival of the Emerald Champion does indeed have no Clan alignment, so he is unaligned and would be affected by those two cards. Brook Cunningham, "Arrival of the Emerald Champion vs Tamago", 3 Apr 2010
