Shadow Embrace and Embalmed

[spydr261]

Nicodem's upgrade, Shadow Embrace gives him the ability, Welcoming Pain, which says when a friendly model would suffer damage the Poison condition they heal 1 damage instead. Embalmed says something similar: when this model would suffer damage due to the Poison condition, instead, it heals 1 damage. Does Shadow Embrace stack with Embalmed? For example, when my flesh construct would take damage from poison, would it instead heal 2 damage?

No. As is doesn't take damage due to Embalmed, Welcoming Pain doesn't kick in, or vice versa.

This is the case of a "replacement effect" triggered by the words "instead of."

 

lets say they take poison damage, then say Embalmed kicks in. The damage is replaced with the healing effect. When Welcoming Pain wants to work, it no longer has a poison damage to replace so no effect happens. This would work vise versa like Dirial said.
