Indeed. If for instance a Humakti is up against a superior force of
undead what is he going to do. Risk losing and letting the undead
survive by acting 'honourably' and confronting them head on or ambush
them.
Also Humakt is the God of Death not wounding, so I have no problem
with finishing off the enemy if required.
My take on honour is kind of like the Arthurian idea. Honour is
sticking to your personal rule set and the society meta rules. The
Black Knight is just as honourable as the White Knight, even though
the White Knight may dissagree on some of the finer details.
