I am still confused about exactly how timing works in the game. This confusion stems from the fact that on page 37 we have three steps for Resolving Actions:
1. Declare Actions and Spend AP.
2. Perform Duels
3. Resolve Results
In Resolve Results, it states "the most common effects are dealing damage". So this section seems to say that damage is deal in step 3 of the general action sequence.
However, in the 5 steps for performing a duel it seems to suggest on page 33 that damage the results of the duel, including applying damage, are resolved in Step 5 of performing a duel. Resolving damage during Step 5 has been cited, and confirmed by Justin in an earlier thread, as the reason that defensive triggers like Safe in My Bed take effect after damage has been flipped for, because they occur after Step 5. But that seems to contradict page 37 and the text for Resolve Results.
So when is damage resolved? Step 5 of Perform Duels or Step 3? If it is resolved in Step 3, along with (apparently) defensive triggers (since the only step after Step 5 of Perform Duel is Resolve Results), what determines the order in which things take effect? If damage is resolved in Step 5 of Perform Duels, what does the text on page 37 mean?
