Rules Q&A

• Q: Greetings,
  Our local Taint Boy (tm) was playing with a dishonored Kyoso no Oni and successfully attacked another player, wiping out the army. His question was, even if he cannot gain or lose honor, would his personality be rehonored?
  A: It would not. From the rulebook, his Family Honor needs to increase to restore the Personality. If it's locked at -19, he can't restore Personalities to honorable by doing something that would gain a normal player Honor. (That's also why 0-point Honor gains don't re-honor Personalities.) Jeff Alexander, "post for 22 March 2002", 23 Mar 2002
• Q: Kyoso no Oni Exp 3
  Honor loss is a trait. See: http://rules.l5r.com/Card_features#Traits
  http://rules.l5r.com/Effects#Order_of_effects: "Effects occur in the order they are written."
  Kyoso no Oni enters play, since both honor loss and her destroy effect are both traits, I can opt to destroy her before losing the honor. Correct?
  A: Yes, although effects occur in order, both the honor loss and destruction trait are triggered to the same occurrence; the honor loss trait is implicitly "after entering play" just like the destruction trait. Thus, the traits' effects occur in an order chosen by the active player. Roger Giner-Sorolla, "Kyoso no Oni Revisited", 20 May 2008
• Q: Ie I destroy her by her own trait and as a result do not lose honor. Correct?
  A: No. Roger Giner-Sorolla, "Kyoso no Oni Revisited", 20 May 2008
