Say I'm dealt 2 Fire damage from a monster. Can another character at my location, say, banish a Potion of Energy Resistance to "reduce Acid, Cold, Electricity, or Fire damage dealt to that character (me) by 4"? Would someone else playing Stone Skin on me work? Can Koren recharge an armor to reduce damage dealt to another character at his location (also me) by 2?

Follow up question. Assuming someone else can reduce the damage to 0, do I get to banish the Curse? I was dealt 2 Fire damage but it was reduced to 0.

My search skills have failed me and Eliandra was unsure, so here I am. :-D


Reading it exactly as it says, it sure sounds like other people could reduce the damage, but it just feels like that is violating the spirit of that curse.

If someone did reduce it to 0, I don't think it should remove the curse since it was reduced to 0, thus dealing you 0 damage.

Obviously I just like people to suffer playing the game... I was sad that I didn't get a chance to hand out any scourges over the course of 3 scenarios.

I think the answer may be that this card should really say "While displayed, Acid, Cold, Electricity, or Fire damage dealt to you may not be reduced. If you are dealt 2 or more Acid, Cold, Electricity, or Fire damage, banish this card." Verifying.
