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. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.
I had a fairly simple question concerning stat modifications just needed confirmation.
my question is if a modification brings a stat below 0 would any increases afterwords start the increase at 0 or from the point it was reduced to. Ex: if a 2 force personality receives a -4 force reduction and then a +2 force gain. would the personality be at 2 (2-4=0+2=2) or would it be 0?

It would be zero.
You can follow the process here for cards with both bonuses and penalties, but in your example, essentially it's 2-4=-2(functions as 0)+2=0.
