0 Chi, and delayed death

L5R CCG Rules board, 30 April 2008

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.

Personalities chi is reduced to 0, I delay the death until the end of the turn (say, through Courage in Death), and somehow manage to raise their chi above 0.

Would they still die?

Delaying the destruction doesn't work: the destruction effect from 0 chi is immediately reapplied and the personality is destroyed.
