Rules Q&A
- Q: Can Sacred Valley negate the honor loss that Jutsushi's ability creates? (or any honor losses from delayed effects in this case.)
A: Yes. All that Sacred Valley cares about is that the Honor loss is from an action, which it is with Jutsushi. Zen Faulkes, "Sacred Valley and Jutsushi (basic)", 19 Sep 2011 - Q: When is the correct time to react with Sacred Valley? after the action is announced, or right before the action resolves?
A: More at the latter. It's "Before the resolution of another player's action begins", which is right after costs are paid but effects start resolving. Zen Faulkes, "Sacred Valley and Jutsushi (basic)", 19 Sep 2011 - Q: Does Sacred Valley first reduce any honour loss by two, before Forgotten Temple reduces it to one? For example I make my Forgotten Temple playing opponent lose five honour; Sacred Valley reduces the loss to three, then FT reduces the 3 to a one. Similarly can Sacred Valley reduce a loss to zero before FT reduces the loss to one (or indeed after?)
A: The active player chooses which effect is applied first, so it depends upon whose turn it is. This is because both the indefinite conditional effect from Sacred Valley and the trait from The Forgotten Temple have the same timing and trigger.

A: Per the Sticky here, please don't repost old questions. Give us time, and then PM me as it says. The system broke down a little when my computer also broke down, from May through July, and GenCon also always plays havoc with my attentiveness to the forum, but this is still the preferred method.
