Q: So I saw [urlhttp://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=97892]this ruling[/url], and I'd like a little further explaination of this interaction.
Aren't both of these Continuous Effects? Don't continuous effects apply at any time the relevant cards are in play? Wouldn't that include the minimum value adjustment for Pillowbook? Why would Pillowbook not re-evaluate it's own effect when a Taishuu enters play?
A: REVERSED!

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!
A: 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. Jon Palmer, "Pillowbook and Bofana", 12 May 2012
