A player, 8 July 2007
Regarding this...such situations may be rare, but not unheard of. For clarification, assume player A targets player B's dead Courtier with "Let Them Fight Their Dead":
Maho Kiho Battle: Target one of your unbowed opposed Shugenja: Target a dead Personality the enemy leader owns. Lose 5 Honor. Bring him into play, in your army, waiving costs and ignoring restrictions. After the battle ends, destroy him.
Could player B react with "Share the Blame" (assuming he has another Courtier in play to dishonour)?
Political Reaction: After another player targets a Courtier with an action, dishonor one of your Courtiers: Dishonor the Courtier the other player targeted. You, then the other player, each lose 3 Honor.
Since the dead Courtier is still in the discard when "Share the Blame" resolves, I'm assuming he wouldn't be dishonoured, but would Player A still lose 3 honour?

I answered these questions already.
