Rules Q&A
- Q: (Utaku Yu-Pan Experienced) can send people to a Province in which a battle has been resolved. But, what happens after that?
A: http://rules.l5r.com/Battles#After_Resolution: "If no battlefields that haven’t resolved a battle remain, then all units still at battlefields return home, are bowed by resolution if they were attacking or allied, and all battlefields cease to exist." (Emphasis added.) Zen Faulkes, "Utaku Yu-Pan and moving enemy Personalities...", 13 Jan 2008 - Q: You can't seriously be saying that Yu-Pan can throw someone into a Battlefield that has already been resolved, and since it's already been resolved, nothing can happen with him at that Battlefield.
A: There is no rule that a Personality in a resolved battle can't be targeted (although the Rules of Presence and Location will rule most actions out). A Personality in a resolved battle does not become immortal, just hard to hit. Zen Faulkes, "Utaku Yu-Pan and moving enemy Personalities...", 13 Jan 2008 - Q: (I mean, that's just silly.
A: Welcome to my world. Zen Faulkes, "Utaku Yu-Pan and moving enemy Personalities...", 13 Jan 2008 - Q: I am attacking, and my army contains Utaku Yu-Pan exp and Utaku Tayoi. My opponent is defending his final province with a single non-Naval personality, who has no Naval followers attached. Yu-Pan has the Heavenly Kobune of Suitengu attached, and thus has Naval. For my Naval action, I can choose to use Yu-Pan's printed ability, bowing Yu-Pan as the cost, to move the opposing personality home. For my Naval action, can I bow Tayoi as the cost of Yu-Pan's ability?
A: The question is really, "Who performs Utaku Yu-Pan's ability?"
See performance criteria at http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_P-Q#Perform.
Both Utaku Yu-Pan and Utaku Tayoi perform the ability in this case. So it doesn't matter which has the Naval trait. Zen Faulkes, "Utaku Yu-Pan & Naval", 6 Aug 2007
