Q: Or because Poison Dartgun is for Ninja only? Okay I get it now. Thanks Also, @Brook Cunningham by any chance did you have the time to check in on the 12th Black Scroll + Isawa's Helm clarification? Appreciate it
A: Ah, yeah, I did, and it's a bit tricky and sticky. It seems from the research I've done lately that the Oracle Text may be wrong, and the 12th Black Scroll should in fact target. Unfortunately, it's been sitting there in the Oracle with its current, non-targeting text for over 10 years, and there was an official Ruling made in the Rules Forum based on that not-targeting Oracle text back in 2014. So, I've been reluctant to just flip all of that on its head in a singular fell swoop. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 12 Apr 2025
Q: [Imperial] Does Isawa’s Helm negate all the effects of The 12th Black Scroll when targetting a unit in battle?
A: Per the current Oracle wording of the 12th Black Scroll, it does not target, which I believe is correct per contemporary Rulings, though I am on my phone and cannot verify. Thus, the Helm cannot react.
Actually, put a pin in that, as I am finding some information that conflicts with the Oracle text, so I'll have to research more. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 10 Apr 2025
