A player, 31 January 2015

during a battle and my opponent use reserve to bring in a personality the battle with sulphurous swamp in play. does he need to discard?

the step for reserve is from out of play move in home? and then move in battle?

Sulphurous Swamps: Players discard a card after each time one of their own actions moves a Personality home. After a player's action destroys this Terrain, he discards a card.

No, Reserve simply brings the Personality into play at the battlefield. No movement is involved, so no discard is required.
