Hi,
I'm playing Ichigo sensei and I'm winning (or tying) a battle with a dishonored personality in my army, what happens in resolution? Is Ichigo able to rehonor my personality? The rules only state that personality rehonoring substitute to gaining honor in resolution, without further precisions about the source of this honor gain (rules, or any card).
Before a player with one or more dishonorable Personalities in his or her army gains Honor from destroying enemy cards in battle resolution, all such dishonorable Personalities are rehonored, substituting for the Honor gain. In a tied battle, all dishonorable Personalities in an army are rehonored before being destroyed, in substitution for their army’s leader’s Honor gain.
If Ichigo can rehonor personalites, are the timing of the honor gain from Ichigo and from the rulebook the same? If they're not, which one happens first?
Ichigo Sensei
After an enemy card is destroyed during a battle, if the destruction was not from another player's card effect, gain 1 Honor.
Thanks!

Ichigo Sensei will not rehonour Personalities.
When the Rehonouring rules uses the phrase "gains Honor from destroying enemy cards in battle resolution", this refers purely to the honour gain from the rulebook, not to Honour gains from other sources triggered by destroying cards.
I'll see about clarifying this section.

Regarding this:http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=114574
Just to clarify: an army with a Dishonoured personality that wins or ties a battle would still gain one honour per card destroyed thanks to the Sensei's trait, correct?
Thanks!
