Regarding this thread, how would you be able to gain the two honor? If I've read A Good Death correctly, per page 26 of the CR:

"Phrases in an Interrupt’s effects such as “After a Personality is destroyed” refer to the effects of the interrupted action, and are delayed until those effects occur; they do not refer to when the Interrupt is played. This will usually mean that the interrupted action’s player can target or make other choices in the action after the Interrupt is played, knowing it will take effect."

This would seem to mean that none of the effects (or the targeting) for A Good Death resolve during the actual interrupt window (which is good, because your opponent could just kill the personality you targeted with the interrupted action otherwise). Which would mean that per Step D of action resolution (page 28 of the CR), in the situation detailed by the OP, the effects would stop immediately after "give your target personality," as that is required targeting. Which would mean that the 2 honor is also not gained, as it occurs AFTER the failed targeting.
