Very simple question is the destruction of the personality to seppuku a cost or an effect. I read the CR which says (to me) that it is an effect, but I wanted to make sure.
Seppuku destruction a cost?
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. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.
Under Seppuku (p. 51), alter the Seppuku action to:
Reaction: Any number of times per turn, before you lose Honor from an action that targeted or was performed by one of your Courtier or Samurai Personalities: He commits seppuku. If the seppuku destroyed him, reduce the Honor loss to one.
It is an effect.
