Destroying overlaid cards; Destructive Priorities

L5R CCG Rules board, 19 July 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.

Question one: If i overlay an experienced personality and said personality dies from battle resolution does my opponent gain 4 honor for two cards or just the two for the one personality

Question two: If i trigger the effect of Destructive Priorities and have another one in my hand, can I play the second one and use its abilities again?

Thank you for your help

[Mod edit: Thread title. Please put things like card names in thread titles to help people searching the forum. Thanks! -ZF]

4. Honor gain is per card (http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Battles#C._Resolution_Segment), and a stack is still multiple cards.

If i trigger the effect of Destructive Priorities and have another one in my hand, can I play the second one and use its abilities again?

No rule prevents it. Yes.

Regarding the first part of this thread: http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=92526, I believe this to be an incorrect ruling:

I believe you would only gain 2 honor as per the Rules governing Overlaying:

The underlying card is out of play, but does not leave play. For instance, it does not benefit from effects that would give it abilities if it was in play, another player would not gain Honor for destroying it in battle resolution, and Reactions to its leaving play may not be taken.

Just want to make sure the rules in the Comprehensive Rules have not been changed.

Dang. Looked right at that page, but missed that text. Thanks for the catch.
