Q: Hi!
Cartographers Imperial • Scout • Unique Recon Open : Bow this card: Target a province. During the next battle there this turn, negate the effects of the first Reaction or Terrain action any other player takes.
Assigning Blame Political Reaction : After one of your Personalities is destroyed, if you control a Courtier: Dishonor a target Personality. His controller loses 3 Honor; this loss can be negated but not reduced.
Player A bows plays the Recon Action from Cartographers on Province A. Player B assigns a lone courtier to defend. Player B passes. Player A passes. Lone courtier is destroyed by resolution. Will Assigning Blame still go through or will it be negated by Cartographers? That is, has the battle ended or not?
Thanks!
A: Personalities are destroyed in Resolution Segment, which is long before the battle ends after resolution (http://rules.l5r.com/Battles#After_Resolution). Zen Faulkes, "Imperial Cartographer and Assigning Blame", 30 Sep 2007
