Rules Q&A
- Q: Relevant Text:
Law of Darkness Dojo After another player loses Honor from your Battle action: He loses 1 Honor.
Cowed and Defeated Battle: Choose your performing unbowed Courtier or Magistrate and target a Personality: Dishonor him. His controller loses 1 Honor. After the next time (this turn) another player's action resolves that targeted your performer or a battle resolves which destroyed him, the target's controller loses 2 Honor.
In the case that the performing Courtier/Magistrate get targeted with an action or a battle resolves which destroyed him, does the opposing player lose a total of 4 (1 from the action itself, 1 from the trait on Law of Darkness Dojo, and 2 from the delayed effect of the action) or 5 (Law of Darkness' trait apply to both the initial honor loss AND the 2 from the delayed effect)?
Thanks!
A: Both the initial 1 Honour loss and the delayed 2 Honour loss will trigger Law of Darkness Dojo. If you play Cowed and Defeated out of Law of Darkness Dojo, your opponent will lose 2 or 5 honour. Alex Jones, ""Law of Darkness Dojo" and "Cowed and Defeated"", 24 Jul 2012
