Hi, so this came up in a game and I wanted to make sure I got this correct.
Hakuseki Sensei: Your Stronghold has no abilities. Your Magistrates have +1F while opposing any dishonorable Personalities. After each time your Battle action bows or destroys a dishonorable Personality, gain 1 Honor.
Show Me Your Stance: Iaijutsu Battle: Your target unbowed Human Personality challenges a target enemy Human Personality to a duel of Personal Honor. The winner gains 2 Honor. Dishonor the loser. Move him home. Bow him as he moves.
So let's say I duel an honorable personality... do I gain 1 from the sensei? Yes or No? I would think I do as I dishonor them before they bow.
Thanks!

You are correct, he dishonors before he bows, so you gain the 1 honor.
