Marionette~A Perfect Match question

[IamMoi]

Hello,

 

Today I was playing against a Collodicrew with my Marcus Crew and we came across a question about his marionettes: Poison counters do one damage  at the end turn upkeep portion. The marionettes have an ability that states that they reduce damage done via condition by 1. Most things with similar abilities stipiulate "to a minimum of 1", but this one does not. Is this correct? Because that pretty much makes it immune to Poison.

 

Thanks in advance for the input!

Poison damage may not be reduced. Check under Poisoned in the rule book.

Ah, thank you. I knew I had to be missing something.

Marionettes take no damage form Burning +1 though, as that can be reduced

So this little puppet, presumably made of wood, suffers damage when poisoned, but is resistant to burning. Got it.

That just seems like it needs an FAQ, it makes no sense that it would not work on poison, outside of the fact that the rulebook says it can't be reduced. I'm betting it's a rules as written vs a rules as intended issue.

Locking, as this thread is about old wording that is not in the finalized file.
