Rules question(s)

[Erik1978]

Can't see a rules thread, so here goes:

 

Poison happens at upkeep step and can't be reduced, it says.

 

What about catalyst and induction (Sebastian/ress.) can this poison damage be reduced by armor, since it's not happening in the upkeep step, or is poison always non-reducable?

 

Had 2 games today (taking my tally to an impressive 6!) and there will probably be asking about more, unless this thread gets deleted because there is another for rules questions.

Have you looked at the downloadable FAQ document yet?

We don't have a rules thread, we have a rules forum

As for you specific question, damage coming from Poison doesn't care about armor and Catalyst says that the extra damage is also Poison, so no, Armor doesn't help. Note that SS prevention works and in Catalyst's case, you only need to prevent one point of damage and then the two extra won't happen at all.

Oh, I'd never considered that interaction with Catalyst, good call.
