A player, 22 February 2015
I saw the Way of the Crane vs Iron Armor post in which if a personality can not move, they must accept the duel. What happens if the personality is already dishonored? Do they also have to accept because they are unable to dishonor their personality as a cost of refusing?
Way of the Crane Reads:
If you are a Crane Clan player, this Strategy has Discipline . Iaijutsu Battle: Your target unbowed Personality challenges a target enemy Personality, whose controller can dishonor him and move him home to refuse. Bow the loser. The winner gains 1 Honor.
Thank you

A dishonoured Personality must indeed accept the challenge.
