Rules Q&A

• Q: Dijuro deck building beckoned me to ask this question:
  Suppose I have an attached kharmic fortification in my province (Tunnel Network for example). Via the Rulebook Kharmic is defined as:
  Fortifications are defined as:
  So, is it fair to assume that since a Fortification is still in a province, if it's kharmic, I'm assuming I can use the rulebook action to kharmic it away?
  I understand the reasoning behind why you can't kharmic away in-play personalities that got their kharmic trait from Yung Sensei for example, because in that case, that kharmic dynasty card is no longer in your provinces. But here with fortifications, it seems like it could work.
  A: Fortifications are attached to their province, they are not in the province: Cards attached to a Province are not “in,” nor can be discarded “from,” that Province.
  You cannot use the rulebook Kharmic ability and target a Fortification attached to a province. Alex Jones, "Kharmic Fortifications", 21 May 2015
• Q: In 20F Arc we currently have 3 non-Gold-producing Fortifications. Poorly Placed Garden Tunnel Network Kaiu-Built DefensesAll of them have clearly the intended to enter the game unbowed. The first two had the Fortification trait do that, the other one uses the phrase: "This Holding enters play unbowed".
  With the update of the Fortification trait the first two changed their functionality. So couldn't you simply add the sentence "Non-Gold-producing Fortifications enter play unbowed" or even more general "Non-Gold-producing Holdings enter play unbowed" to the Comprehensive Rules? Because I suspect that was the intend behind the update of the Fortification keyword.
  And sorry if this isn't the right forum for something like that.
  A: If Design intends to revert the first two Fortifications to their pre-20F functionality, they will do so via MRP or errata. There's not much else I can do in terms of "rules" on it. If you wish to lobby them to do so, this isn't really the place - you can post it in the main forum. Jon Palmer, "non-Gold-producing Fortifications", 5 Mar 2015
