A player, 20 November 2010
Hey guys,
I was searching through the forum and I couldn't find this. Here's the situation.
Player A plays Prayer for Guidance on a target Personality in battle. During the course of the battle, that personality becomes dishonored. Prayer for Guidance resolves when the Personality is sent home.
What happens? Does the personality re-honor or does Player A gain 3 Honor?
Prayer for Guidance Battle/Open: Target your honorable Samurai: After the next time this turn he is destroyed or bowed by another player's action or by battle resolution, gain 3 Honor.
Going through the comprehensive rules, I couldn't find anything that would help me answer this question regarding Delayed Effects. Any help would be appreciated.

http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Special_wording ... References: "Dishonorable status is checked only at the time the targeting" to determine if a Personality is rehonored.
The Personality was not dishonored when targeted, so cannot rehonor and the honor is gained.
