Rules Q&A

• Q: I have a question regarding drawing vs putting cards in your hand, namely are they the same thing or does the card only affect effects that say to "put a card in your hand"? As an example I would like to use the text from Isawa Kimi's reaction. Specifically does it trigger off of Temple of Gisei Toshi (phrased using "put") and Traveling Peddler (phrased using "draw")
  Relevant Text: Isawa Kimi Reaction: Even if Kimi is bowed, after the resolution of an action that put any cards into another player's hand: That player chooses and discards a card from his hand.
  Temple of Gisei Toshi Limited: Bow this card: Name "Follower", "Item", or "Spell". Look at the top four cards of your Fate deck. You may show one of those cards that is of the type you named, then put it in your hand.
  Traveling Peddler Limited: Bow this card and pay 3 Gold: Draw a card.
  A: Glossary, Draw: To draw a card means to put the top card of one's Fate deck into one's hand. Alex Jones, "Drawing vs "Put in Hand" Clarification Version 2.0", 8 Apr 2012
• Q: So I saw this response, and I think I understand the OP/Zens miscommunication here.
  The reason a Scars of War causes two honor loss when something like a previously targeted Traveling Peddler's ability is activated is because it triggers to two different things, Either bowing, or ability resolution, and it triggers "each time" either of those things occurs.
  From the sequence of play these two triggers are always going to occur at different points, and while OP is correct in that if both triggers happened simultaneously only one honor would be lost. That effectively never happens, even supposing some effect to "bow a holding after one of it's abilities resolves" was present in the game state, due to the timing resolution steps.
  The reason for this is because each trigger is seperate. In the case of Peddler, you pay costs (bow the holding) before Action Resolution can even begin to occur. So Scars of War generates one Honor Loss when a Traveling Peddler bows to pay the cost of it's ability, and it generates a seperate one Honor Loss later after the ability resolves, per the "each time" text of Scars of War.
  A: Indeed, as stated here. Alex Jones, "Scars of War vs Peddler/others", 28 Jun 2011
• Q: Player A targeted player B's Traveling Peddler with Scars of War, cost paid and all. On player B's turn, they decide to use the ability to draw a card, paying it's 3 gold cost and all. Why would player B be losing two honor if Scars of War says "or". Does the "or" mean both?
  A: It means it can be fulfilled by either condition. This is just regular English use of "or". Zen Faulkes, "Scars of War vs Peddler/others", 25 Jun 2011
