A player, 30 June 2015
Card Title
An Act of Disdain Text
Political Open: Destroy your target unbowed Courtier Personality with 3 or more Personal Honor. After each time (this turn) another player's target Personality assigns or an action on a card in his unit resolves, dishonor him and gain 3 Honor.
i got confuse with the wording "action on a card in his unit", does it need to be the targeted personality action ? or even my action from hand or personality will also trigger an act of disdain?
such as those? 1) ranked hath privilege as either the bowing cost or the target the an act of disdain will trigger?
2) imperial summons as the target?
3) Tamori Chikyu's ability?
4) your true nature targeting his follower/attachment?

"An action on a card in his unit" means exactly that - an action, located on the Personality or one of his attachments. It does not trigger off other cards targeting the unit.
Tamori Chikyu's ability will trigger the loss if Tamori Chikyu is the Personality targeted by An Act of Disdain and he uses his own ability, but not if another Chikyu targets the Personality targeted by An Act of Disdain.
