L5R CCG Rules board, 2 March 2015 to 5 March 2015

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing.

A player, 2 March 2015

Bayushi Katsue Political Interrupt: After Katsue enters play, a target player loses 1 Honor.

Feign Death Interrupt: Target your Personality. After the action resolves, if it destroyed him, bring him into play in your home, ignoring costs and Honor Requirement, then bow him, dishonor him, and lose 2 Honor.

If a ranged attack is played to kill Katsue, can i play Feign Death and his own interrupt, to make a target player lose 1 honor after him enter in play for Feign Death?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for my english.

Interrupts only affect the action they are Interrupting. Since you cannot Interrupt Feign Death (it being an Interrupt as well), and Feign Death is the card bringing Katsue into play, there's no way to effectively use his Interrupt here. Interrupting the Ranged Attack will not trigger the 1 honor loss as the Ranged Attack is not what brings Katsue into play.
