Rules Q&A

• Q: If I use the Battle action on Yoritomo Sunagawa to bow a follow on another personality who has Tsuruchi's Legacy equipped would the Ranged Attack get the +1 Strength or would Sunagawa himself need to be wielding the Legacy?
  A: http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Glossary_F#From: "The source is the card that the effect, action or targeting is printed on, or the rulebook if it is printed there."
  The Ranged Attack is thus "from" Yoritomo Sunagawa, ragardless of what Follower is bowed. Thus, Tsuruchi's Legacy will only affect a Ranged Attack taken using Yoritomo Sunagawa's ability if it is attached to Yoritomo Sunagawa. Zen Faulkes, "Sunagawa and Tsuruchi's Legacy", 29 Dec 2010
• Q: Can Yoritomo Sunagawa bow a Gunso Kisho for his own ability and get a +2 to that Ranged from the reaction of the Gunso Kisho he bowed.
  Yoritomo Sunagawa Battle: Bow your target Follower: Ranged Attack with strength equal to the Follower's Force
  Gunso Kisho Can only attach to a Mantis Clan Personality. Battle: Ranged 2 Attack. Reaction: After the target of a Ranged Attack from another card in this army is chosen: Increase that Ranged Attack's strength by 2.
  If I recall, costs are paid after targeting. This means Kisho will not be bowed when his reaction would occur. Also, I believe the Ranged Attack is coming from Sunagawa, so it fits the "from another card" clause on his reaction.
  Thank you very much!
  A: Yes, Gunso Kisho works in the manner you described.
  You can use Gunso Kisho's reaction with Yoritomo Sunagawa's action to produce a Ranged 4 Attack, bowing Gunso Kisho for the cost.
