  An action is any ability that has the Limited, Open, Battle or Reaction designator. Ben Higgins, "Moneylender-Tanimura-Luxurious silk", 20 May 2012
• Q: Yasuki Tanimura reads: "Political Reaction: After another player's Battle action targets Tanimura: The player may pay 4 Gold. If he did not pay the Gold, he loses 3 Honor." What happens if he is targeted with a Battle/Open action in the Action Phase? Would this trigger his ability?
  A: No, that would not trigger his ability.
  Designators: "Abilities with two designators, such as “Open/Battle,” count as having both individual designators, but the action they generate has only one designator, according to when the action was taken.
  Example: A Strategy card with an Open/Battle ability can be searched for by effects that look for cards with Open actions as well as by effects that look for cards with Battle actions. However, when it comes time to use the ability, the action it creates only has one designator; Open if used in the Action Phase, or Battle if used in the Combat Segment."
