Shibata and Taketori

L5R CCG Rules board, 8 September 2015

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.

I have Shibata Sensei and a courtier with Taketori attached.

If I bow the courtier in battle to use the Rulebook Favor Battle ability, may I unbow him with Taketori?

I'm not sure, because the action is in the rulebook, but the bow cost is printed in Shibata.

Thanks!

It's not a cost, but the bow effect is certainly printed on Shibata Sensei, so a Taketori can straighten the Courtier you bowed.
