Hello,
My question is about the personalities who create more personalities after they enter in play from your clan.
If that personality enters in play during Dinasty Phase (f.e. Isawa Takashi), the "created personality" enters in play during Dinasty Pahse, as I meet the Honor requirement and I don't choose to lower his cost by two and h is from my faction, I can choose to gain his Personal Honor if I haven't gained the PH of another personality this phase.
Is that true?
The second question, if I negate the Honor Gain(f.e. Destructives Priorities) of a Personality after it enters in play, do it occur yet or can I gain Honor from other personality?
Isawa Takashi: Reaction: After Takashi enters play, once per game: Create two 2F/2C/2PH Phoenix Clan*Samurai*Yojimbo Personalities at his location.

Under discussion. I'm hopeful it wil be resolved soon, though.

I see in the rules wiki that the rule for entering play during Dynasty Phase was changed/clarified on July 4, same day that there was to be a "discussion" on this rule. However, can you please clarify in this thread what the change was and how it affects this ruling? I'm not sure what changed in the rules wiki, since we can't see what the previous text was.
Thank you for your help!

Oops. Indeed, I forgot to follow up on this after my compatriot Roger clarified the wiki.
The answer to the above question is that while you can opt pay for the 0G cost for a Clan-aligned Personality created during the Dynasty Phase, you won't gain Honor for doing it.
What was clarified was that this option only exists for Personalities brought into play from provinces.
And, incidentally, you CAN view the previous text by clicking the "History" tab at the top of the wiki page.
