Force bonus questions

L5R CCG Rules board, 4 April 2014 to 7 April 2014

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Just asking

1. Since Breaking the Rhythm doesn't specify where the force bonus/penalty is coming from. Does it negate force bonus/penalty from traits that were triggered at that time?

2. Are those +1F Tokens force bonus or stat modifiers?

1. Yes, Breaking the Rhythm, unlike Creating Order, will negate bonuses from traits.

2. Tokens are force bonuses (only items are modifiers).
