Deeds and Words + Rehonoring

L5R CCG Rules board, 6 March 2010

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.

Just want to double check on something (did a search, didn't find anything),

Is it possible to react with Deeds and Words when an opponent tries to rehonor a personality with My Father's Shrine? The wording on the cards suggests that it is but comprehensive rules regarding action sequence seems to disagree.

Deeds and Words Reaction: Before a player gains or loses Honor during the Action Phase, destroy this card: Reduce the gain or loss to 0.

My Father's Shrine Limited: Bow your target Personality: Gain 1 Honor.

Is it possible to react with Deeds and Words when an opponent tries to rehonor a personality with My Father's Shrine?

No. Rehonoring and Deed and Words are both triggered before an honor gain, and triggered effects like rehonoring come before Reactions (http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Timing#Timing_sequence).
