Rules Q&A
- Q: RE: This.
The above answer is incorrect. See here.
Granted, the issue was only clarified in the CR 16 hours prior to the answer being given, but I still thought I should mention the discrepancy.
A: I totally misread that question, as it happened, but I certainly do appreciate the catch. Zen Faulkes, "RE: The Kami's Embrace Water Movement Legality", 16 Oct 2007 - Q: Is it legal to use the water action on The Kami's Embrace to move a unit you do not control to your home?
A: No. (Fixed.) Zen Faulkes, "The Kami's Embrace Water Movement Legality", 15 Oct 2007 - Q: If yes, when, if ever, does the unit return to it's owner's home?
A: Spelled out here: http://rules.l5r.com/Battles#After_Resolution Zen Faulkes, "The Kami's Embrace Water Movement Legality", 15 Oct 2007 - Q: In the previously mentioned example of Hida Bob and Isawa Steve opposing each other in battle, there's only one location (location: the battlefield), not two locations (Hida Bob's Side and Isawa Steve's Side)?
If Isawa Steve moves Hida Bob to Isawa Steve's home, does any portion of control over Hida Bob transfer to Isawa Steve's player?
A: No. Location has zero to do with control. Zen Faulkes, "The Kami's Embrace Followup", 2 Oct 2007 - Q: Can Moshi Kiyomori use the Fire Battle action from The Kami's Embrace?
A: No. Only action cards inherit keywords from actions. Zen Faulkes, "Moshi Kiyomori", 12 Jun 2007
