Rules Q&A
- Q: or more specific to Kakita Mai where the honor loss is a requirement of one of the choices?
A: Required for the choice of refusing. If you can't lose the honor, you can't choose to refuse. See also Jeff's ruling on the subject:
http://www.deathseeker.com/email/2003/09/19/162948.shtml Martin Lund, "Rules for 15 September 2004", 21 Sep 2004 - Q: Correct me if I'm wrong here, but a Shadowlands player cannot refuse Kakita Mai, but can refuse Iajutsu Challenge right? So if Kakita Mai uses her action to start a challenge, and the player refuses, if Kakita Mai's player plays Superior Stance, does opponent still lose the 4 honor since that honor loss has been ruled a cost of refusing?
A: Sure. The 4-point loss is a Cost of Refusing, not an Effect of Refusing. Martin Lund, "Rules for 25 June 2004", 28 Jun 2004
