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.
This situation came up in a match today, and I wanted to make sure my ruling was correct.
There is an already dishonored personality that is targeted by bayushi Shizuka. His controler equips a blessed sword to him.
What would be the timing of dishonoring/rehonoring?

It breaks down like this:
-Dishonored Personality A is the target of Shizuka's Open. (Setting up the delayed effect.) -Personality A's controller announces the Equip player ability. Personality A is targeted in step C of action resolution, which triggers Shizuka's delayed effect. -Resolve the delayed effect from Shizuka. (Personality A's controller loses 0 Honor and Personality A remains dishonorable.) -Finish resolving the Equip action. (Blessed Sword now attaches to Personality A.) -Blessed Sword's trait triggers, and the rules for Rehonoring substitute rehonoring Personality A for the Honor gain.
