Rules Q&A
- Q: The Rulebook has this to say about bringing in holdings:
Does the bowed bit apply all the time, or just during the Dynasty Phase (like how you get cost reduction or personal honor from a buying a personality only during the Dynasty Phase)?
As Strange Magics doesn't say specifically that a holding bought comes in bowed, and other cards do -like Osei & Restoring the Doji Treasury- I was wondering if either...
* Strange Magics is saving space and Osei, et al. simply have Bowed in their text for clarity's sake,
--OR--
* Strange Magics really does let a holding enter play unbowed and the Bowed clause on Osei & RtDT is actually necessary.
A: It applies all the time. Martin Lund, "Bringing Holdings into play: Strange Magics & Osei", 14 Apr 2005
