Hi!

I am playing Stones of Purity on Taruko. My buddy interrupts with Courage beyond Question. What happens?

a) The Force Bonus of the Tokens is negated, leaving me with a Fear 3 attack for 5 gold? b) The Force Bonus cannot be negated due to them being tokens? c) The Force Bonus is removed for *this round*?

Help!

With my best regards, Alex

Courage Beyond Question negates bonuses from "the action". Stones of Purity tokens come from the spell, not the Equip action itself, so Courage Beyond Question does nothing to their bonus.
