His Most Favored/Otomo Sensei

L5R CCG Rules board, 24 October 2013

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.

A player, 24 October 2013

Regarding this ruling:

viewtopic.php?f=59&t=101893&p=1340639&hilit=pekkle+otomo#p1340639

Does the same principle apply to His Most Favored? If the personality that has HMF dies do I not lose 10 honor?

No, the same principle doesn't apply.

In the cited ruling, you don't lose the honor because the trait itself that would cause the loss is removed from the game (ON the Pekkle) before it can trigger.
