Rules Q&A
- Q: Successful Bounty: Until your Events Phase three turns from now begins, after each time a Personality opposing a Magistrate or Courtier becomes dishonorable from an action, the Personality's controller loses 2 Honor.
Scandalous Rumors: Political / Battle: Bow your performing Courtier at any location: The Attacker may target any of his Personalities at the current battlefield and move them home. He loses 1 Honor for each of his Personalities there that this did not move, then dishonors them.
Question: If I have a Courtier or a Magistrate opposing my enemy's units at the current battlefield when Scandalous Rumors is played while Successful Bounty is active, how much honor does my opponent lose (say he keeps 3 units at the battlefield and dishonors each in turn)? I understand the honor loss from Scandalous Rumors is considered a single honor loss, but the wording of Successful Bounty seems to imply that my opponent must lose 2 Honor for each personality affected since it speaks about the "Personality" in the singular tense...
A: That's right.
In your scenario, the other player takes a single loss of 3 Honor from Scandalous Rumors for keeping 3 people at the battlefield.
Then, as they're dishonored, Successful Bounty's effect triggers separately for each of them, dishing out 3 more individual losses of 2 Honor apiece.
Total of the losses: 9 Honor. Ouch! Brook Cunningham, "Successful Bounty & Scandalous Rumors", 4 Jan 2012 - Q: If I use Bayushi Maemi to reduce a 3F personality to 0F, and they are dishonored, Successful Bounty has already resolved, can they use the Rulebook effect of Seppuku?
A: Successful Bounty is not an action, so no. Zen Faulkes, "Successful Bounty and Seppuku", 14 Sep 2010
