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.

With the shadows lair, do bowed personalities count as zero force or their printed force in terms of the 9f requirement?

Bowed cards keep their current (not necessarily base) force, they simply do not contribute to an army's total force.
