So, say for example that you have FR3, and commit 3 dice toward Brawn with Enhance. You're now effectively FR0, correct? If that's the case, then does this mean you cannot use Reflect, since you have to be Force Sensitive to use it, and you have just given up all your Force Rating for Brawn?

No. You can still use Reflect. What you can't do is use any other Force powers or any talents that require you to roll Force Dice.

"However, a Force-Sensitive character still counts as a Force-Sensitive character, even if committing Force dice has dropped his current rating to 0.
Edited by syrathI think that line about "still counts as a Force-sensitive character" got added in as people were thinking that if you committed all your Force dice, you were no longer considered to be Force-sensitive because your effective Force Rating was 0.
Almost want to say this got discussed on a very early Order66 while still in the EotE Beta with Sam and possibly even Jay Little as guests, it being clarified that even if you've got no Force dice to roll for effects, the PC is still considered to have an actual Force Rating of whatever they'd raised it to (at the time, FR 2 was the max since there was only the Force Sensitive Emergent universal spec if you wanted to be a Force user).

Yeah, I remember that. I might have been the one who asked that question, lol.

You were, because I very distinctly remember talking with Jay Little at GenCon2014 (the year the AoR Beta came out) about some of the ideas and elements behind the game spurred in part by that question. And one of the aspects that came up was that a core part of the mechanics was resource management, be those resources wounds, strain, Force points, and even Force dice, which also included the mention that once a character had obtained a Force Rating, they were always considered to be Force-sensitive no matter how many Force they did or didn't have available to roll.
