A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from the Wayback Machine (its copy), so posts 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.

Does the same thing apply to Hida Kuon exp.3 and heavily engaged? More specifically, if Heavily engaged is played, can a player with Kuon and other people in the same army, can that player choose Kuon and negate the bowing?
Also, if a shugenja with Seal The Way is in the current battle, can Seal's open be used to bow people in other battles or home? Either way, I assume the same goes for Hida Kuon exp. 3, right?

Yes (card text).
The Experienced 3 Hida Kuon has no text concerning bowing.
