Sinister Motives, Miles, and Gwen: If you only had a tough hero in play with 5 hit points remaining and sandman dealt you 10 Indirect damage

⚠ This ruling is from an older rules version (Hall of Heroes (rules 1.0–1.4)) and might be outdated.

Question

If you only had a tough hero in play with 5 hit points remaining and sandman dealt you 10 Indirect damage, you assign 5 to your hero and then at the same time you deal that 5 plus the other 5 for a Total of 10 and then the tough blocks it all. Is that correct?

Answer

  • Yes, Tough would block any indirect damage you would take.
  • Our current ruling is that you can still only be assigned indirect damage up to your remaining hit points. So, in your example, you could only be assigned 5 damage, and the rest would not be targeted at anything.
