Rules Q&A
- Q: If I use Game of Sincerity on a personality, then bow my personality for some action, then subsequently target him with Essence of the East Wind does he contribute force to his unit?
A: No.
Essence of the East Wind says the Personality contributes Force even if bowed. Bowing is the only state the card text overrules. It is not a "this Personality contributes force not matter what" card.
