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.

Assuming I'm playing Dragon's Heart Dojo and have 3 personalities, Mirumoto Masae Exp, unbowed Togashi Nyima and bowed random dragon Personality.

If I declare an attack and assign Nyima I'll use the stronghold reaction to play a ring from my hand, at the moment I play the ring can I unbow my random Personality with Masae's ability and still assign him to attack?

Dragon's Heart Dojo

You may not win via Enlightenment.

Reaction: After you assign a Monk Personality: Put a Ring into play from your hand.

Mirumoto Masae

Dragon Clan Samurai • Monk • Experienced Keeper of Air • Unique

Elemental Reaction: After a Ring enters play or a Kiho resolves: Target a Personality. Straighten him.

Thanks in advance.

Assignment is simultaneous (Lotus rules, pg. 50). No.
