Rules Q&A
- Q: Dishonorable Personalities have a maximum Personal Honor of zero.
A: Citation
Maximum and minimum values do not Negate any Effects that try to raise a stat above a Maximum or lower it beyond a Minimum (though it does make it impossible to pay a cost that requires you to violate a Maximum or Minimum). Rather, they impose the Maximum or Minimum value instead of the calculated value of a stat.
So, while he was Dishonored, the Personality had the +1PH bonus effects on him, but the Maximum value made you treat his stat as 0. When the Maximum value went away (due to being restored to Honorable status), the bonuses were still in effect, so he had 5 Personal Honor.
