Moto Xiao has trait that gives all followers +1F. I hit Moto Xiao's unit with Nerve Strike. Is the follower 0F or 1F?
Force penalties from actions, force bonus from traits

http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Card_features#S ... to_a_value: "To set a stat to a value, give it the smallest possible appropriate bonus or penalty such that it reaches that value."
Example: A 3F Follower has a +1F bonus. An effect reduces the Follower's Force to 0. The Follower's Force receives -4F to bring to the current Force value to 0. Because the bonus is already part of the Force stat, it is not reapplied.
