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.

if I have in battle personality (say base force 3) with "Talisman of Meido" (or "Iron Kabuto") with force bonuses from action (like +3F from Charge) ... when my oponent play Justly Earned Victory :

a. my personality have 5F (because Justly Earned Victory remove force bonus from action) b. my personality have 8F (because Talisman of Meido prevent receiving force penalty from Justly Earned Victory) c. other ?

I don't find this question using search funcion (maybe my fault ... if Yes sorry)

Card features, Bonuses and penalties: "When a bonus, penalty, maximum, or minimum ends or is negated, the resulting stat change is not a penalty or bonus."

As a consequence, Talisman of Meido and Iron Kabuto will not prevent Justly Earned Victory from negating your Personality's Force bonus, because this negation is not a Force penalty, so your Personality would have 5F.
