Rules Q&A
- Q: Regarding to this post: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=86663 I think I understand the answer but wanted to be sure. Should I then interpret Unmoving as the Mountain as reading like this?
Open: Choose your performing Hero: While he is opposed at [a] battlefield [whose battle is being resolved] and no other units are in his army, negate his bowing and movements from other players' actions' effects.
Thus, if I target Hida Bob (a Hero) with this action in the Action phase. Later assign him to Province A, choosing to resolve it first. While the battle at province A's battlefield is being resolved my opponent cannot move/bow Hida Bob (assuming he is the only one there). If I somehow move Hida Bob to Province B's battlefield, finish resolving Battlefield A, then start resolving battlefield B; again, in this new battle, Hida Bob will not move/bow from my opponent's actions (assuming again that he is the only one there). Is that correct?
A: That all looks correct. Zen Faulkes, "Unmoving as the Mountain", 5 Oct 2010 - Q: Unmoving as the Mountain: At the point the action is taken there is no "current battlefield".
A: There is no requirement that conditions required for some effects must be present when the action is taken.
The effect applies whenever the condition is met. Zen Faulkes, "Unmoving as the Mountain", 1 Oct 2010
