More Ebisu's Honesty

L5R CCG Rules board, 24 July 2011 to 26 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.

If I play Faint Praise, and then use the Limited ability on Ebisu's Honesty I lose four honour, and I do not gain four honour yes? The Glossary entry for instead seems to confirm so.

However, substitution is not itself prevention or negation.

Also when can we ask questions regarding Forgotten Legacy? The PDF has been released and most people have received copies of the cards by now.

Substitution is not negation, so Faint Praise would indeed make you lose 4 honour from Ebisu's Honesty rather than gaining 4 honour.
