Rules Q&A
- Q: If I am a Maws Grave player and I have a Temple of the Righteous Emperor in play. Can I play an action card that has an honor gain on it, use the temple and draw a card. The temple says :
Reaction: Before a player gains Honor from an Action card during the Attack Phase: Negate the Honor gain. The player draws a card.
Since the word 'before' is there, I would say that I can, even though my stronghold will not allow me to gain the honor when it actually happens.
A: "Do not" does not mean that the honour gain is negated, but that it never exists. There is no honour gain to react to.
See Do not. Alex Jones, "Temple of the Righteous Emperor vs. The Maws Grave", 22 Aug 2008 - Q: Reaction: Before a player gains Honor from an Action card during the Attack Phase: Negate the Honor gain. The player draws a card.
A: An Action card is a type of Fate card with a Red border. Whether it is being used for an Ability (Battle, Limited, Open, or Reaction) is irrelevant to the fact that it is still an Action card.
If a Focus Effect or even just a trait on an Action card creates an Honor gain that's a valid trigger for Temple of the Righteous Emperor. Martin Lund, "Temple of the Righteous Emperor and focus effects", 5 Mar 2008
