Text Other players' cards' effects will not discard cards from your hand. Your maximum hand size is increased by 1. Other players' maximum hand sizes are reduced by 1, to a minimum of 7.
Daigotsu Bofana Text Spider Clan • Shadowlands • Samurai • Dark Scion of Fire • Paragon • Loyal After the first time each phase another player's action targets Bofana: If the action was not performed by a card with (current) Force equal to or higher than Bofana's base Force, the player discards a card.
Hi,
Let's say I have a Pillowbook attached to one of my personalities. I target Bofana with an action. Am I still required to discard a card via his trait?
Thanks!

Bofana is another player's card, which has an effect that would cause you to discard a card from your hand. Pillowbook will prevent this.
