Hello there,
How does the trait of Yodo Sensei works with a multiple dishonoring action? Like "The company you keep" or the scorpion guy Kotomuri?
I don't know if you will gain more than 1 honor for each action regardless the amount of dishonored ppl your oponents get...
i.e.: If you play Bayushi Kotomuri and dishonor 2 Personalities of the other player, do you gain 1 Honor for Yodo trait or 2?
thanks in advance for your enlightment.

A trait is triggered by each occurence of its triggering effect: in this case by each occurence of dishonoring. If two Personalities are dishonored by one of your actions, the trait triggers twice.
In contrast, if the trait said, "After your action resolves which dishonoured another player's Personality..." the trigger would be the end of the action, not the dishonoring, which can only occur once per action.
However, note that Bayushi Kotomuri doesn't dishonour via an action, he dishonours via his Invest trait, so this dishonoring would not trigger Yodo Sensei: "When Invest appears on a non-Strategy card, its effects come from the Invest trait, not the action that brought the card into play."

Yodo Sensei "After your action dishonors another player's Personality, gain 1 Honor."
The Company You Keep Political Open: Target a Personality. Personalities his controller Recruits (this turn) with greater Personal Honor than the target has now are dishonored before they enter play.
I gain 1 honor for each personality recruited (fulfilling the requirements for enter dishonored, obviously) that turn?
Thx in advance.
Sry for my english.
