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.

Stay Your Blade Battle: Bow and move home one of your target opposed Samurai Personalities: Draw three cards.
Since moving your Personality home is one of the costs of Stay Your Blade (and bowing is listed first), does the Personality still have to bow if their movement is negated?
Would it be different if it were worded "Move home and bow" instead?

Bother. I missed that one was a cost, not an effect. Fixing.
If the cost isn't paid, the action doesn't happen.
