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.

All we're taking out is an "a" - to make the card read as intended by the special rules of grammar.
Effective immediately, the correct text of the Reaction is now:
Reaction: After the resolution of an action or battle that destroyed any of your Personalities in a defending army, bow your performing Courtier or Empress and target your non-Unique Personality with your Clan alignment in your discard pile: Bring him into play (in your home), ignoring costs. Gain 2 Honor.
If you weren't planning to abuse the loophole, you have nothing to worry about.

Apologies, my question is answered in a different thread.
Sorry.

Thanks very much - just saw it in the other thread and hoped to edit my post before I wasted anyone's time.
But many thansk for the response, that's really appreciated. I've got a couple of Kolat Edition decks printed to let me "try before I buy", so I may just need to check that I've not included the card for all the wrong reasons...

The previous wording meant that the part that goes "In a defending army" only applied to battle resolution, but not to an action. So you could use it with actions that kill your own guys, like Sacrifice of Pawns.
Now it is applied to both, so that's no longer posible without being defending in an army.

I think it was already covered by the "don't be a weenie" rule, but the clarification is good.
