Rules Q&A
- Q: Following up on this thread http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=64876. So I guess my main question would be after Three Stone River's effect has resolved reducing my personalities force to 1, would the events (Dawn of the Spider, Arrival of the Phoeinx, or Wrath of the People) raise my force back up by +2? Essentially making my force 3 on personalities there?

A: They already raised your Force, and then Three-Stone River gave your a Force Penalty large enough to reduce your boosted Force to 1.
For example, use Kodomo with her 1F, and Wrath of the People: "your Unaligned Human Personalities have +2F"
Kodomo has 3F during the Combat Segment: 1F Base + 2F from Wrath of the People.
Three-Stone River gives Kodomo -2F, so now her total is 1F: 1F Base + 2F from Wrath of the People -2F from Three-Stone River.
You only ever get +2F from Wrath of the People. Gaining another +2F after Three-Stone River resolved would mean you got +4F, not +2F. That doesn't happen. Martin Lund, "Global events force boost duration", 17 Jan 2008
