Seijuro Sensei + Seijuko

L5R CCG Rules board, 15 March 2015 to 17 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. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Seijuko's trait says that after she wins a duel her PH is increased by one, meaning she goes from 2 to 3. The Sensei interrupts at the start of the action but also says that after the personality wins the duel they get a force bonus = to their PH. So when would the increase in PH happen? Before or after they are granted the force bonus? Essentially would Seijuko get +2F or +3F for winning a duel that was interrupted by the Sensei.

Since both effects have the exact same timing (after winning a duel), and both are triggered (step C of timing), the active player will decide which applies first.
