Hi, This came up today in a tournament and I was wondering if you could help:
I have Daidoji Gempachi along with a 0 force 3 personal honor artisan and Doji Domotai XP3. In addition, I have a Castle Walls in play with only one province remaining. My opponent has an 8 Force unit opposing my army.
If I use Gempachi's ability to boost the force of the Artisan, do any or all of these traits stack? If not, which ones would? Relevant text is below.
Daidoji Gempachi Reaction: After Cavalry Maneuvers: Raise Gempachi's Force, and the Force of another target Personality in his army, to the Force of a target card opposing them
Doji Domotai Your defending Crane Clan Personalities at Domotai's location have a Force bonus equal to their Personal Honor.
Castle Walls If you are the Defender and have only one Province, your Personalities and Followers have +2F.
Thanks for any help

Include all current bonuses in the raised stat. Do not reapply any bonuses that are already figured into the raised stat.
