Rules Q&A
- Q: I know from other questions that any text after targeting an oni would be negated by Undetectable Enemy (i.e. Running Battle). My question is if targeting happens after other effects in an action, whether those prior effects would similarly be negated?
A: Yes... ish.
Previously enacted ongoing effects would be indeed be negated (surpressed until the end of the turn), such as the +3F and "He may not perform actions".
However if, say, those effects had a longer duration than 'til the end of the turn themselves, then they would reassert after the negation wore off. And also, negation will not undo previously inacted instantaneous effects. So the straightening effect, having already occurred, would still stand. Brook Cunningham, "Undetectable Enemy and Kuon's Legacy", 11 Sep 2012 - Q: Hi,
If I target a Oni personality with running battle and my opponent use undetectable enemy as a reaction does he also negate the option of targeting attachment and the option of moving my persoanlity?
Undetectable enemy: Reaction: After another player's action targets your Oni: Negate its effects.
Running Battle: Battle: Choose your performing Scout Personality and target an enemy Personality: Give him -4F. If you have Reconnaissance, you may target one of his attachments and put it in his owner's hand. You may move your Scout home.
Thx for reply
A: Yes. Undetectable Enemy negates all effects of the action targeting the Oni (even those that do not themselves affect the Oni) that have not already occurred at the time of targeting. Jon Palmer, "undetectable enemy and running battle", 27 Aug 2012
