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.

If the brand is attached to my bowed personality can it still be used? Or is it not usable because the bowed personality is the one performing the action or is untargetable?
Sorry, I've been out of L5r for eight years and the rules on targeting your bowed personalities seems to have changed slightly. And I tried to find the answer before posting. Again, sorry and thank you.

If (Brand of Cowardice) is attached to my bowed personality can it still be used?
Yes, as long as the item itself is not.
