Card: The Dark Path of Shadow

Name The Dark Path of Shadow Game Legend of the Five Rings Set Hidden Emperor Rarity F Foil NF Card Text Non-Personality Ninja cards cost 2 less Gold for you. You do not lose Honor from other players' card effects or from your Ninja cards. Battle: If the total Chi of an army attacking one of your Provinces is under 10, send all units in the army home, bowed. You can take this action even if The Dark Path of Shadow is bowed and even in a battle in which you cannot take actions. Artist Bryon Wackwitz Language English Notes Rulings: You lose honor if one of your ninja personalities dies dishonorably. [DW, e-mail, 2/10/99] "You cannot lose Honor from opponents' card effects" refers to all cards, not just actions. [Stronghold text] Other players can modify losses you cause yourself, however. Being bowed does not stop a card from adding its Chi to the army. Ability is not a Ninja Action. [Stronghold text] Ability does not target the army or anything in it. Effects that concern targeted actions (e.g., A Test of Courage) will not stop it. Ability can be cancelled (e.g., Storms of War). Ability can be performed any number of times per battle. [Stronghold text] If an honor loss that you cannot suffer is redirected from another player to you, it ceases to exist. It may not subsequently be modified. [December 1999] Ability is not usable if you do not have a chance to perform Open/Battle actions (e.g., Crushing Attack). Makes you immune to unpreventable honor losses. [DW, e-mail, 4/8/99] Honor losses you cannot suffer never exist, not even briefly. They cannot be redirected to another player before the Stronghold negates them. [December 1999] Ability is usable if prohibited by a card effect (e.g., Deadly Ground, The Secret Entrance) or with no units in the battle. [5 May 1999] Ability can only send home the army in the current battle. [Erratum] Legal: open,jade Type Stronghold Faction Ninja Honor start 0 Strength 0 Gold prod. 3 Kanji Jade
