Rules Q&A
- Q: If I have Doji Shikishi in play and I am using a wind, does her train allow me to also use the rulebook imperial favor battle action?
A: No.
Shikishi lets you take the Favor Rulebook action "even if you control no units at the current battlefield". She would have to have specific language exempting you from the Legacy Rule that you may not take the Favor Rulebook actions if you have a Wind. But, obviously, she does not. Brook Cunningham, "Shikishi vs. Winds", 29 Mar 2012 - Q: Can Doji Shikishi use her effect to take the favor if she is dishonorable?
A: Yes. There is no general rule that a Personality must have 1 Personal Honor to take the Favor. I think you are thinking of the player ability for lobbying (which does require a Personality with 1 Personal Honor; http://rules.l5r.com/CE_The_Player#Player_abilities). But although the effect is similar to the "Lobby" player ability, Doji Shikishi's ability is not lobbying. It's completely separate. Zen Faulkes, "Doji Shikishi questions", 24 Sep 2011
