I apologize if this has been asked before but I still can't make heads or tails of the new search button
can you use Temple of the Righteous emperor to negate the honor gain from focus effects? (such as The Fortunes Smile, or Flash of Steel)
Temple of the Righteous Emperor and focus effects
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.
Reaction: Before a player gains Honor from an Action card during the Attack Phase: Negate the Honor gain. The player draws a card.
An Action card is a type of Fate card with a Red border. Whether it is being used for an Ability (Battle, Limited, Open, or Reaction) is irrelevant to the fact that it is still an Action card.
If a Focus Effect or even just a trait on an Action card creates an Honor gain that's a valid trigger for Temple of the Righteous Emperor.
