Bow this card: Produce 2 Gold. Limited: Bow this card and your target Shugenja or Monk Personality: Gain 2 Honor.
If i bow a dishonored shugenja/monk to pay the cost of the honor gain, will it rehonor the personality instead?
I am 75% sure it would because the personality is paying the cost of the action and therefore performing it, correct?

http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Physically_mark ... shonorable: "Before a player gains Honor from an action or trait that targeted, came from, or was performed by one or more of his or her dishonorable Personalities, the Personality is rehonored and the player does not gain the Honor."
Yes. It targets the Personality.
