Hey Scalpel!! Re: preventing damage.

[Karl Innes]

Ack!! just read some disturbing opinions on preventing damage,
especialy pertaning to preventing mixed aggro normal damage. What
exactly is the proper procedure???

The following is how I understood it to be resolved....

Vampire A recieves five damage, two of which is aggravated.
Vampire A prevents two damage via skin of rock. Vampire A then takes the
remaining one normal damage and two aggravated damage and goes to
torpor.

Unfortunately I have recently read that some people are of the
opinion that you can choose which damage to prevent (ie the two aggro
damage.)

I understand that damage is resolved normal then aggro damage,
(otherwise it would be difficult to burn any vamp) does the same apply
to the order in which you prevent damage???

Cheers, Karl

This is official. Nothing says you have to prevent damage in the order
in which it would be healed/applied (or any other order, for that matter).
