Do unbowed followers on bowed personalities contribute force?
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.

That was a rule for a lot of L5R's history, but is no longer the case. Followers now contribute force even if the Personality is bowed.
