Bowing for Gold, part II

L5R CCG Rules board, 19 January 2014

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.

Well, it's quite easy. You show the steps of the procedure of bowing for gold, if the word 'target' isn't in any of those, then you have the basis for the ruling right there. This question is based on the interaction between Saya (Shizuka) and Yashinko exp.

Still, if you can't point to the rule, no problem; thank you anyway.

I don't see any rule that we can point to; to produce gold you just bow, there's no targeting involved.

Shizuka will not dishonor a Yashinko xp/Soken/Hinobu if they bow to produce gold (but will dishonor a Yashinko basic).
