Rules Q&A

• Q: in regards too http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=89757#p1190138 Zen leaves the answer pretty ambiguous and doesn’t even answer his own question
  "More generally, "Is duel destruction a card effect?"
  "Duels come from the effect that created their associated challenge, not the rulebook."
  this just says the duel comes from an effect and nothing about the destruction. just to clarify this a bit, Steel on Steel states that the duel destroyes the loser, whereas the rulebook states There is no default consequence of winning or losing a duel. Some effects may use the phrases "for winning a duel" or "for losing a duel." These phrases refer to another effect that was triggered by, or conditional on, winning or losing a duel -- such as, an honor gain "for winning a duel" refers to effects such as "If he wins the duel, gain 2 Honor" or "Reaction: After one of your Personality wins a duel: Gain 2 Honor."
  surely this means that the destruction from the duel is an effect of the card correct?
  A: Yes.
  The destruction from Steel on Steel is a card effect, and that destruction occurs during the resolution step of the action. Alex Jones, "Draw Attention and Duels", 1 Apr 2011
• Q: As topic says... am I allowed to react with Draw Attention after a destruction duel (using Steel on Steel as an example)?
  Draw Attention: Focus Effect: After a Personality loses this duel, his controller loses 2 Honor. Reaction: After the resolution of one of your Battle actions whose effects destroyed an enemy card: Gain 2 Honor.
  Steel on Steel: Iaijutsu Battle: Target your unbowed Personality: He challenges a target enemy Personality. Destroy the duel's loser.
  Thanks!

• Q: I am confused as to the timing of the honor loss from Draw Attention's Focus Effect.
  A: http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Challenges_and_duels: "1. Apply any consequences of losing or winning that alter who loses or who wins.
  "2. Apply any consequences of losing or winning the duel from the action or trait that created the duel, in the order written." This is where a fatal duel will kill the loser. This also means this is where Reactions to destruction (like Akodo Senichi) will happen.
  "3. Apply any consequences of losing or winning the duel from other actions or traits, following the rules on timing." This is where Draw Attention will occur.
  When there is more than one copy of the card, you follow the timing rules: http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Timing#Resolvin ... _conflicts, which includes "triggered traits, delayed effects, indefinite conditional effects, triggered rulebook effects (such as losing Honor after a dishonourable Personality is destroyed). If more than one of these things conflict, the active player decides the order in which they happen" (emphasis added). Zen Faulkes, "Draw Attention and simultaneous Dishonor Victory", 18 Feb 2011
