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 know this is so last year... But i just want to resolve a question that has been bugging our gameplay.
In the Stronghold "Temple of the Eight Guardians",

do the first ability that trigger my stronghold use that trait, or can I choose to bow my shugenja and save the stronghold's traits for later?

"Need not" indicates that you choose when to use it.
