- You are not forced to discard cards to make up the difference if you have fewer than three unbowed Personalities or Followers in the battle and allow them all to become bowed. [DW, 29 May 1996] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 21
- If you want to keep any of them unbowed, however, the number of cards you do bow, plus the number of cards you discard, must equal three. [DW, 26 July 1996] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 21
- Starting with the active player, each player makes bowing/discarding decisions in turn, before the next player makes any. Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 21
- All bowing/discarding decisions are made by each player before the other makes any. Go in normal player order, starting with the active player. Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 33
