Minuses and Etc...

Hello again!

I was wondering with Force and Chi reductions, could they go at a negative number or do they stop at zero? And if they were used to pay for a cost (like that blade from Forgotten Legacy and combined with the Walking Dead), could it continuously go down? Thanks!

Wait on someone else for "official" word on this, but as I understand it:

Penalties can never cause a card to penalize you (2f follower gets -5f, it is 0f). However, if you stack a bunch of penalties and bonuses, they all count in finding the final number. 2f follower, give it -5f. Then +4f... it's now 1f. So the negative values are there, but they only matter for "possible future bonuses."

In addition, for "paying costs" - you can't go negative to pay a cost - you need to have it before you can pay a cost with it. If you try, I expect the action will fail (though I'm iffy on the whole "announce, pay costs, resolve" business - I've never had an issue where that mattered much).
