Silly Question

L5R CCG Rules board, 15 April 2014 to 18 April 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.

Is the gold production of a Stronghold considered an Ability? In such a scenario could I produce gold from it while bowed if I have the Colonial Harbor in play?

No and no. Only things prefaced with "Limited", "Open", "Battle", "Engage", or "Interrupt" are "abilities".

*and, in older Formats, the now-defunct "Reactions" were also "abilities"
