Can a ranged 0 destroy a personality with 0F?
If so, what happens to a ranged 0 when, say, outer walls is played in reaction?
Outer Walls: Reaction: After a Ranged Attack is targeted: Give it -2 strength.
Thank you

Can a ranged 0 destroy a personality with 0F?
Yes, assuming he is a legal target. His Force (zero) is equal to the strength of the Ranged Attack (zero) so he is destroyed.
Glossary, Ranged Attack: In an effect, “Ranged X Attack” (where X is a number known as the strength of the Ranged Attack) is shorthand for “Target a Follower or a Personality without Followers in the current enemy army. If its Force is equal to or less than X, destroy it.”
If so, what happens to a ranged 0 when, say, outer walls is played in reaction?
Its strength remains zero but this penalty counts against future bonuses. For example, one would need two copies of Arrows Do Not Falter to increase its strength to two.
Glossary, Ranged Attack: "A Ranged Attack’s strength is treated as a stat with regard to bonuses, penalties, and minimums."
Card features, Calculating stats: "To get a stat's current value at any given time, do steps A through C, below: A: Apply all current bonuses and penalties. B: If the total is below 0, treat it as 0. [...]"
