Got a question A) lets say i have someone with 2 force and they have a weapon giving them 3f attached making him: 5 if i set this personality to 8 force does the weapon generate a ongoing effect making him 11.
B) take this example and apply instead of a weapon, 3 1f fire tokens.
if i set this personality to 8 force does the weapon generate a ongoing effect making him 11.
No, his Force is set from 5 to 8 so he gains +3F. If the Weapon is destroyed, his Force decreases to 5.
For more informations about stats, see Stats in the CR, especially Calculating stats and Setting stats to a value that reads: "To set a stat to a value, give it the smallest possible appropriate bonus or penalty such that it reaches that value."
B) take this example and apply instead of a weapon, 3 1f fire tokens.
The answer is the same.
