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 you have ruled on this already but the CE15 rulebook makes me wonder if things have changed.
If Isawa Fosuta xp (unbowed) has Enticement played on him and is than bowed for his ability can the owner of the card straighten him?
The CE15 rulebook says that the owner of someone with the "may remained bowed" text is the controller of it. Is this rule from the CE15 rulebook for a trait or does it apply to actions as well?

It's for a trait, not an action.
You'll note, Fosuta's action doesn't even say "may remain bowed", it says you may negate his straightening.
So, the CE15 Rulebook definition definitely does not apply.
