Question

41 – The Robert Kelly ally has a Tough status card and 2 HP remaining. The Starshark minion attacks me who’s attacks deal indirect damage. I understand that Robert Kelly forces the minion to deal it’s indirect damage to him. Do I assign 2 damage to Robert Kelly and the 1 leftover is lost? OR Does Robert Kelly Force you to deal the indirect damage to him equal to his remaining hit points and therefore I would need to assign 2 damage to him and must assign the 1 damage to another character I control?

Answer

Robert Kelly’s ability forces you to deal all damage from an undefended attack to him, even if that attack deals indirect damage. Following the rules of indirect damage, you’ll deal Robert Kelly damage up to his remaining hit points (which is then prevented by Tough), and the rest of the damage is ignored.
