A player, 30 August 2007

Question 1: Opponent plays Mountains of the Phoenix. Mountains of the Phoenix:Mountain Terrain Battle : Before this battle's resolution, the Attacker and the Defender each choose a unit in their own army; the active player decides who chooses first. Then, destroy the chosen units. So before resolution he destroyes his one bowed personality and react with Death After Life bringing that personality back to play unbowed in the army. Death After Life:Reaction : After one of your Personalities is destroyed during battle: Lose 5 Honor. Target a dead Personality in your discard pile, or in any discard pile if you are a Spider Clan player. Permanently give him Shadowlands and Undead . Bring him into play in your current army, ignoring restrictions (paying all costs). Can he do stuff like that? Question 2: He lost a battle. All units destroyed honor gained blabla and can he react with Death After Life to the destruction of one of his personality in the Battle Resolution? What happends to that personality if the current province is destroyed?

It would help if the question were more specific.

Nothing illegal.

He lost a battle. All units destroyed honor gained blabla and can he react with Death After Life to the destruction of one of his personality in the Battle Resolution?

http://rules.l5r.com/Battles#Choose_Battlefield: "''During a battle' includes both the Combat and Resolution Segments."

What happends to that personality if the current province is destroyed?

http://rules.l5r.com/Battles#Resolution_Segment. That would be at point B in the sequence. You then got to C. Then to "After Resolution."
