Rules Q&A
- Q: I know that the rule book says that Samurai and Courtiers can as a reaction to any action that would cause honor loss, commit seppuku to reduce the honor loss to 1, here's my question:
What if a dishonored person dies? Can he commit seppuku in response to his own death?
Say I had dishonored a guy (Matsu Yoshino), and then I dueled him (with Noritoshi)... when Yoshino dies, can he commit seppuku in response to his own death? I assume that he cannot, as the honor loss comes as an effect of a dishonored person dying, and the action that I targeted him with simply created a duel (one in which the dishonored Yoshino died).
Is this correct? ~KA
A: You are correct in that you cannot seppuku in response to death, as your personality is already dead by that point. Chris Fuchs, "Can You Seppuku in Response to Death?", 18 Sep 2007
