Rules Q&A

• Q: If I use Utaku Remi to target a province, and assign just her there vs. one defender, and the defender moves out, I now lose the force/PH bonuses granted by her recon?
  A: Correct, because the Personality is not opposed. Zen Faulkes, "Utaku Remi's Recon action", 30 Nov 2008
• Q: Can Justly Earned Victory negate Remi's recon ability at a battlefield?
  A: Yes. The bonuses are from an action. Zen Faulkes, "Justly Earned Victory & Utaku Remi", 28 Sep 2008
• Q: (I)s Remi's ability constantly applying to the battlefield?
  A: You may have to be more specific here. Utaku Remi's effect is an ongoing effect, if that helps. See http://rules.l5r.com/Effects#Duration_of_effects: "Ongoing effects that affect all things of a certain kind (such as, “Battle: Your Samurai have +1F”) by default change the game state, and so affect all things in play of that kind throughout their duration, even ones not in play at the time the effect took place." Zen Faulkes, "Justly Earned Victory & Utaku Remi", 28 Sep 2008
• Q: If I target one province with Utaku Remi's Open action twice, will opposed Cavalry cards have +2F and +2 PH instead of just +1?
  A: Yes.
  You've created two effects which each give +1 to those stats. And...
