The Maw's Grave + by hliguori on Mon Sep 24, 2007 4:10 pm
Hi there...
can a player using 'The Maw's Grave' pay the honor cost on an action, like: - Arrival of the Obsidian Champion (Open: Lose 3 Honor. Dishonor one of your target Personalities with a Gold Cost of 9 or greater. Permanently set his Force to 10 and his Chi to 2. Permanently give him Shadowlands and the ability, "Fear Battle: Bow each Follower with 4 or less Force in a target unit.") - Fight Another Day (Battle: Lose 2 Honor. Move home, then straighten, all units in your army. If this moved a Nonhuman, draw a card.) - and others...
because this stronghold have this text: "...You do not gain or lose Honor...."hliguori Regular

elaborate for me please. By my reading of the definition, it does not state that you cannot pay this cost, it just doesn't happen. If, by chance, it said, you ''cannot'' lose or gain honor. Then yes, since you can't then you aren't allowed. I would read the maws grave as saying, well I lose the honor, but I really don't, then the action continues. Because, that would mean that I could not put into play any shadowlands personality that said, '' lose X honor'' because I cannot pay that cost. By the rule book, you must pay all cost for putting into play a personality, be it honor requirement, gold, discarding a card, destroying a personality, or losing honor. I don't mean this in a rude tone, I just want to be perfectly clear. Thank you for your time.
