Rules Q&A
- Q: Hi Rules Team,
I searched for both of the relevant cards but didn't see rulings which lined up with this. As for my question...
Let's say my opponent uses Relentless Conviction to destroy my dishonorable personality in battle, which causes me to lose honor equal to my guy's PH (let's call it 2). If my opponent also happens to be playing out of Law of Darkness Dojo, will I lose 2 Honor or 3?
In short, we're unsure if a dishonorable personality's death during Battle causes LoDD's trait to activate, even if the card or ability used does not itself cause an honor loss.
Thanks!

A: It does not.
The honor loss from a dishonorable Personality's destruction is caused by the rulebook, not the action which destroyed the Personality. Therefore it will not trigger Law of Darkness Dojo's trait. Jon Palmer, "LoDD and Relentless Conviction", 15 Apr 2013
