Question

64 – So with dealing and taking damage, does a character TAKE all the damage it’s dealt even when it more than it’s remaining HP? For example The Venom villain is on his first stage, with 5hp remaining. The Tooth and Nail side scheme is out, with 6 Threat on it. A character deals 6 damage to Venom, how much threat comes off of tooth and nail, 5 or 6?

Answer

Yes, a character can “take” damage in excess of their remaining HP, as long as that much damage was dealt (and not prevented, and not indirect damage). Say an attack dealt 6 damage to Venom when he has 5 HP left; he has still taken 6 damage, and 6 threat is then removed from Tooth and Nail.
