Rules Q&A
- Q: Just looking for a little clarification. In effects that set a force or chi to a specific value, this is considered a bonus or penalty. The new unicorn SH sets its value to a specific number and this is not considered a gold production bonus or penalty. Why are these different?

A: I think you misunderstand me here, in particular the underlined phrase: "... the Stronghold's trait begins to apply, setting the Stronghold's GP to 4, which is done by applying no bonus or penalty."
The "bonus or penalty" required to set a value of 4 to a value of 4 is 0, which is defined by the rules as being neither a bonus nor a penalty.
If you are not using a Sensei with a GP modifier, the trait will create a penalty of -1GP to set the Stronghold's GP to 4; if you had a Sensei with a -2GP modifier (or, say, you're using Brotherhood Sensei and your opponent is using Nio Sensei), the Stronghold's trait would create a bonus of +1GP.
