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.
Relevant text: "The Price of weakness. Battle: Give a target Personality -4F. If he is Shadowlands, bow him, and you may target a Personality in your army and give him +3F."
Ok the question is this. With the second part of the action to get the +3F does the target need to be Shadowlands, or is the bowing effect just to do with the target being Shadowlands?
The Price of weakness: With the second part of the action to get the +3F does the target need to be Shadowlands, or is the bowing effect just to do with the target being Shadowlands?
The latter. Rules, Effects: "All effects are separate, even if they joined by the word 'and.'"
Correction on the above ruling.
Conditional requirements apply to both effects.
