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.

After seeing this question a couple of other questions occurred to me, whose answers should be obvious but for some reason I have some sort of niggling doubt.
I have a personality, Doji X, who has a Regal Furisode attached. Their PH is 3+1. If they are dishonoured their PH will become 0.
1. If I attach another Regal Furisode is Doji X's PH now 1? 2. If Doji X now rehonours is their PH 3, 4 or 5? 3. Is wearing two Regal Furisodes a social faux pas? Does this answer change if I ensure that the two have fabrics that are dyed in complementary colours?
EDIT:
Is it the wording of Shosuro Chizuru ("The target has a maximum Personal Honour of 4") that makes the difference in the other question?

When calculating stats, do all the +/- first, then apply minimums or maximums.
1. 3 + 1 + 1 (max 0) is 0. 2. 3 + 1 + 1 is 5. 3. Depends on the Clan. Doji X can not only get away with it, but styles will most likely change to require two Furisodes by the time of Winter Court.
Chizuru is specifically affecting the "apply minimum or maximum" step. Cards override the rulebook, per the Cardinal Rules, so Chizuru's "max 4" will override the rulebook's "max 0".
