Rules Q&A
- Q: #1. Lesser of Two Evils (KYD 94) reads:
Political Limited: Bow and destroy one of your Personalities to play this card. Until the beginning of your next turn, reduce all honor gains and losses by 2, to a minimum of 1. You may not play this card if you have gained honor this turn.
If I have not yet gained honor on my turn, is it a legal play to:
1) Play Lesser of Two Evils 2) Bow and destroy my Lady Kitsune as a part of the cost of the action. 3) Respond to the destruction of Lady Kitsune as a part of paying the cost of the action by bowing Kakita Shijin to gain 5 honor. 4) Then the effect of Lesser of Two Evils kicks in, reducing all Honor gains and losses by 2 until the beginning of my next turn.
A: Yes. Jeff Alexander, "post for 2 June 2003", 3 Jun 2003 - Q: Also, if Soul of Thunder resolved that turn, at the beginning of my next turn, can I declare:
1) Lesser of Two Evils ends. 2) Gain 7 honor from Soul of Thunder. 3) Check for honor victory.
