just to verify a simple question of cost and effect.
After the cost of a card and targeting is chosen, if a card has two effects. Does the first effect have to be successful in order for the second one to be triggered?
example: Shiro Daidoji
Cost: your target Personality Effects 1: Range attack with strength equal to his Force. Effect 2: Gain 2 honor
If the range attack in this situation is unsuccessful, would I still gain the 2 honor?

This question is often asked. One might even say frequently asked.
