A player, 5 August 2014
Just a quick question on how the trait on the sensei resolves.
"Your Stronghold has no abilities. After an ability or trait on another player's Holding with a Wealth token resolves, you gain 1 Honor and he may discard the token."
If a holding with 5 wealth tokens bows. Does the trait kick in per token, or for only 1 token on the holding?
I can see from the wording that it can be interpreted both ways.
The problem with per token, would be that if they choose not to remove the token, then the trait could kick in for that same wealth token again.
The wording of "he may discard the token." looks to me to be possibly interpreted as each token.
So again, in short, if a holding with 5 wealth tokens bows how much honor do I gain and what happens to the tokens?
Thanks for your help.

The trait triggers once per Holding, not once per token. If a Holding with five +1GP Wealth tokens bows, you gain 1 honour and your opponent may discard one such token.
