Agasha Kokiden vs Seppuku

L5R CCG Rules board, 12 June 2011

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.

hi there

am i right that the word "target" in Agasha Kokiden's action refers to controller and not to the personality ? (real question: can a player/personality do seppuku after Kokiden has been used ?)

Phoenix Clan • Air • Shugenja • Imperial • Inquisitor • Magistrate • Sycophant Political Limited: Bow Kokiden or one of her Spells: A target dishonorable Personality's controller loses 2 Honor.

No it refers to the Personality, otherwise it would read "A dishonorable Personality's target controller" or more likely "a target player who controls a dishonorable Personality".

can a player/personality do seppuku after Kokiden has been used ?

Yes (assuming he is Samurai or Courtier), the Honor loss comes from an action that targeted the Personality, which is a valid trigger for the Reaction in the rulebook that makes him commit seppuku.
