- Dying in service of your lord is one of the greatest honors a samurai can achieve. Many warriors ignore tactics and logic to deal one fatal blow to their enemy.

Rules Q&A
- Q: I use Your Clan Needs You! to bring my personality into play. After a series of actions, he is the only personality there. I play In The Heat Of Battle on him taking him 8F, enough to destroy the province.
1- Does he stay in play long enough to destroy the province or does Your Clan Needs You! return him to the province first?
2- Re: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=94949&p=1258563&hilit=needs#p1258563
Does In The Heat Of Battle destroy him in province at the end of turn?
3- When is my timing to use Feign Death in response to In The Heat Of Battle's destruction?
Your Clan Needs You! Battle: If any enemy units are at the current battlefield, choose your performing Personality in one of your provinces: Bring him into play at the current battlefield, paying all costs but paying 6 less Gold. After the battle ends, if he is in play, discard all his attachments and put him face up into one of your provinces, face-up, discarding any card there.
In the Heart of Battle Bushido Virtue • Duty Battle/Open: Choose your performing Samurai: Straighten him and give him +3F. Destroy him before this turn ends.
Feign Death Reaction: After the resolution of an action or battle that destroyed a performing Personality you own: Bring him into play (in your home), ignoring costs and Honor Requirement. Bow him. Lose 2 Honor.
Thank you.
A: 1. Your Clan Needs You will not put him back into province until after Battle resolution, so you will take the Province.
2. In the Heart of Battle will destroy him in Province, placing him in your discard pile as a dead Personality.
3. Feign Death will not save you from In the Heart of Battle, as it has not destroyed the Personality as of the action's resolution. This is generally the case with Feign Death and any delayed destruction effects. Jon Palmer, "Your Clan Needs You", 23 Mar 2012
