Tsuruchi Mochisa's ability says:
Battle: Ranged 3 Attack that can target a dishonorable Personality ignoring its Followers. This Ranged Attack has +1 strength if the target is a Personality with 0 Personal Honor.
If Mochisa is to shoot a dishonored personality with his ability is the strenght of the ranged attack 3 or 4? Since a dishonored personality's personal honor is 0. Or does the ability refer to the base personal honor of the ability's target?
Thank you for your time.
