If Kaeris uses Accelerant on Nix which of these two sequences are correct?
Sequence A
1. Kaeris successfully uses Accelerant with Nix in range with Burning.
2. Nix chooses to gain Paralyzed instead of 2 damage. (Choice on the Accelerant Action)
3. Nix chooses to not take the Paralyzed condition (Choice on the Nihilism Ability)
Net effect Nix takes 0 damage and is NOT Paralyzed. Nix makes this choice for the Accelerant Action. Then his Nihilism kicks in just like armor would if he had chosen to take the 2 damage.
Sequence B
1. Kaeris successfully uses Accelerant with Nix in range with Burning.
2. Nix chooses to gain Paralyzed instead of 2 damage. (Choice for the Accelerant Action and the Nihilism Ability)
Net effect Nix takes 0 damage and IS Paralyzed. The argument for this sequence is both Talents say Nix must choose since he made the choice to gain Paralyzed he has made his choice and does not get to choose again.
I think Sequence A is correct, but can see some support for B. Also I know some will argue that Nix if Nix does not gain Paralyzed he has not satisfied that option so it is not a valid choice. My question is not about that, I'm strictly curious about the timing. thanks
