Hi,
Need a little answer:
Does the reaction from Dragon's Breath Castle which say's - Reaction: Even if this card is bowed, after engaging at a battlefield at one of your provinces: The Attacker targets and bows one of his Personalities there, can be negeted by Kae's triger??
After a Battle action targets Kae, you may discard the Imperial Favor: If you did, negate Kae's destruction, bowing, and movement from the action's effects.
One more:
If my shugenja personality is dishonorable and I use the Temple of Hotei Limited: Bow your performing Shugenja: Gain 1 Honor. Does he became honorable and I dont gain the honor or does this not count as performing action by this shugenja?
thx for reply:)
Best regards Tom

Does the reaction from Dragon's Breath Castle ... can be negeted by Kae's triger?? No. Kae's trait is triggered by her being targetted by a Battle action, whereas Dragon's Breath Castle's ability is a Reaction.
If my shugenja personality is dishonorable and I use the Temple of Hotei Limited: Bow your performing Shugenja: Gain 1 Honor. Does he became honorable and I dont gain the honor or does this not count as performing action by this shugenja? An action from an ability which says "Bow your performing Shugenja" is performed by the Shugenja you bow.
