From Legend of the Five Rings Rules

[edit] Pay
To allot Gold that you produced towards fulfilling a Gold cost.
[edit] Paying
Effects that reduce or increase a Gold cost using the word “paying”, last only for that payment, not until the end of the turn.
Example: “Bring it into play, paying 2 less Gold.”
[edit] Perform
A Personality or Follower is performing an action if its controller is the player taking the action, and any of these things is true:
- The action comes from an ability on the Personality or Follower.
- The action comes from an ability on an Item or Spell in the Personality’s unit.
- The Personality or Follower was targeted by targeting in the ability’s constraints block (between the two colons).
Costs or other restrictions that are added to an action, and involve targeting a Personality, do not mean that the Personality thus targeted is performing the action. The targeting must come from the base wording of the ability.
The timing point "after [a card] performs" an action is after the fact that the card's performing status is known; that is,
- after the action is announced, if the performing is from the card's own ability or that of an Item or Spell attached to it;
- after the action targets the performer otherwise.

[edit] Permanent(ly)
Having a duration until the end of the game. A permanent effect can still be negated or undone by other effects; “permanent” refers only to the normal duration of the effect.
[edit] Personality
A card type.
[edit] Personal Honor
A stat on Personalities.
[edit] Play
1. As a verb, to put into play a card type that normally enters play, or to use an Action card by putting it into the resolution area.
2. As part of "in play" or "out of play," refers to something in an in-play or out-of-play area.
[edit] Play deck
The combined cards in the Dynasty and Fate decks, plus the Stronghold card.
[edit] Printed
Means the same as “base,” even on cards that do not literally have their base stats printed.
Example: Older copies of cards that have been reprinted, or created cards.
[edit] Printing
Things that check an aspect of a “printing” of a card refer to the physical example of the card in the deck, not the most recent English printing. This is an EXCEPTION to Cardinal Rule 2.
Only the official printing is checked; alterations made to a card after it is printed are not valid.
[edit] Province
An area that holds Dynasty cards and defines a player’s lands.
[edit] Province Strength
1. A stat on a Stronghold from which Provinces’ base strength is calculated at the beginning of the game. 2. A stat of a Province that governs how easily it is destroyed in battle resolution.
