Hida Fumetsu and Iron Tetsubo (Loss of Force Bonus=Penalty?)

L5R CCG Rules board, 27 February 2008

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.

Hida Fumetsu has the trait that he gains +3F during the Combat Segment

Iron Tetsubo has a trait that negates all Force Penalties on the personality.

If Hida Fumetsu equips an Iron Tetsubo, and then attacks, what will his total force be after the Combat Segment ends and why?

(10? 13?)

"When a bonus, penalty, maximum, or minimum ends or is negated, the resulting stat change is not considered a penalty or bonus." (Emphasis added.)
