Rules Q&A
- Q: My opponent flips Minor Blackmail and targets my personality. A turn later he uses Slanderer on that same personality (who hasn't performed any actions or assigned to any battles) I announce that I will Seppuku that personality. What happens with Minor Blackmail? This question came up because Seppuku is performed.
Minor Blackmail Choose another player's Personality in play. After the next time this game his unit is assigned or an action resolves that he performed, dishonor him, and his controller loses 2 Honor.
Edit: forgot about the errata on Price of Honor, thought seppuku was performed. Apologies.
A: Ordering Seppuku is not a performed action, so Minor Blackmail's delayed effect does not trigger:
Open: Any number of times per turn, target a dishonorable Courtier, Samurai, or Shugenja Personality you control: He commits seppuku. Alex Jones, "Minor Blackmail vs Seppuku", 12 Jan 2012
