Rules Q&A
- Q: Shugenja A has The Outer Darkness attached and has bowed your Unit B. You are resolving a battle at one of your provinces as defender. Do you need someone in the battle to move Unit B in or does the fact that you will be moving a unit in give you presence?
A: Moving the unit into the battle qualifies as, "Gain a unit in the battle as an unconditional result of the action" (Diamond Edition Rulebook, pg 80) Martin Lund, "Rules for 28 April 2004", 30 Apr 2004 - Q: Can you target an already bowed unit with The Outer Darkness?
A: Currently, no. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 8 October 2003", 9 Oct 2003
