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.
A player, 2 July 2008
I was unable to find a ruling on this or a closely related ruling. This issue appears to be apart from previous denounced on stage rulings....
During my action phase, I play Denounced on stage. I subsequently target a 0 honor personality with Bayushi Saya. The 0 honor personality assigns or resolves an action that he performed. Does the personality lose 1 honor, as a result of a 0 honor loss increased by 1 before the player loses honor, or does the personality lose 0 honor, because a 0 honor loss can not occur, and therefore can not be increased.
Thank you.

Political Open: Target a Personality. After the next time this turn his controller assigns him or an action resolves that he performed, his controller loses Honor equal to his Personal Honor, then he is dishonored.
Denounced on Stage
Political Limited: Target one of your Artisan or Courtier Personalities: For the rest of the turn, before each time a player loses Honor, increase the loss by 1.

Try this.
The player loses no honour.
