actions while bowed

L5R CCG Rules board, 13 January 2008

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.

I know I've asked this in the past, however something has come up that makes me think I misinterpreted what was written: simply because a personality is bowed does not mean they cannot perform actions (unless the action calls for bowing) or move (Seikitsu Mountain run away...), however can a bowed personality assign? I interpreted the answer to a prior question as being that they could do so, however looking at the Samurai ed Call of Thunder event it leads me to think that bowed personalities cannot assign. Help! Thanks...

(C)an a bowed personality assign?

http://rules.l5r.com/Physically_marked_ ... nd_unbowed: "Abilities on a bowed card can not be used, bowed Personalities can not assign, and bowed cards in a unit affect the calculation of total unit Force." Emphasis added.
