If Bayushi Tomo has Koutetsu Shinri attached how many times may she use her battle action? Does the chi minumum provided by the armor prevent her from being able to pay the cost of her action?

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.
If a cost involves a change to a stat, the explicit value of the stat must change by the full stated amount or the cost can not be paid. Minimum or maximum values can interfere with the payment of such costs. Example: The cost “Give Daizu -2C:” cannot be paid if Daizu has 1C, due to the minimum value of 0 that Chi has.
