Hi there,

Does, under Ivory Rules, Breaking the Rhythm negate Force penalties given by tokens (such as Bayushi Jin-E)? Or are they considered the same sort of modifiers as Items? If they get negated, will they re-apply at end of turn?

Thank you!

Tokens provide Bonuses/Penalties to stats.

If they are negated, the tokens remain on the card, and their Bonuses/Penalties will indeed reassert themselves when the negation wears off.
