A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.
Kakita Genshi Iaijutsu Limited: Target another player's Personality. His controller may dishonor him. If he did not choose to dishonor him, gain 1 Honor and choose one of the Personality's abilities; it may not be used until your next turn begins.
If the personality that is targeted is already dishonorable does that mean she automatically gains 1 and turns off one of their abilities?
I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but I searched and could not find anything. Thank you!
No, it means that the opponent can choose to dishonor the Personality and thus suffer no penalty. Targeting dishonorable Personalities with Genshi's ability isn't a sound strategy.
