Say Yasuki Tsujiken has targeted one of my Holdings with his entering play Reaction (Reaction: After Tsujiken enters play, target a Holding: Until Tsujiken leaves play, after each time its controller bows it, he loses 1 Honor.). If I then later use that targeted holding to pay for a person, what exactly is the timing of the honor loss? If it drops me below a Personality's HR, would he then become more expensive, or do I dodge the bullet and am able to buy him for cheaper?
Yasuki Tsujiken and Honor Requirements

Under the process for bringing Personalities into play, honor requirements are only checked once, before any holdings are bowed. Therefore if bowing a holding drops you below a Personality's honor requirement you will not need to pay extra gold.
