  Is Togashi Shintaros ability considered a base ability for purposes of the Focus effect of Arrows do Not Falter?
  What if he no longer has any fire tokens?
  A: Some variation of this question has been asked enough now that it has been added to the FAQ:

• Q: I did a search on this topic and found some things that seem like answers, but I'd like some explicit clarification. Togashi Shintaro has a base force of 0 and 3 +1F Fire tokens. If Togashi Kazuki EXP uses his Open action, does Shintaro's force go to 5 or to 8? Basically, does Kazuki already "see" the force bonus from the fire tokens?
  Togashi Shintaro 0/3 3/6/2 Dragon Clan * Fire * Monk * Tattooed After Shintaro Enters play: Give him three +1F Fire Tokens. BATTLE: Destroy a fire token on Shintaro: Range 3 Attack
  Togashi Kazuki 5/4 0/9/2 Dragon Clan * Monk * Samurai * Tattooed * Yojimbo * Experienced * Unique Open: Set a target personality's force equal to Kazuki's. Reaction: When another player would target a personality in Kazuki's army, discard a ring from your hand or bow one of your rings: The action targets another personality in his army.
  A: 5.

  Here, a 0F/3C Personality has a +3F tokens. An effect sets the Personality's Force to 5. The Personality's Force gains +2F to go to 5. Because the token's bonuses are already part of the Force stat, it is not reapplied. Zen Faulkes, "Togashi Kazuki and Togashi Shintaro", 19 Dec 2009
