About Superior Flesh of marble... >If you take 4 aggravated, and 3 regular damage, w/ the card, can you >choose he 1 remaining damage to be a point of regular ? Rules says "normal damage is handled first". So the last point is aggravated. If you're wearing a flack jacket, no harm. Same thing If you've got a "sideslip" or "skin of steel" in hand. Else, you're torporized. reyda

[ quoted text not captured ] Not quite. from the rulings... Flesh of Marble - Combat (pro) Prevents all damage *that was not prevented* in excess of one point. [RTR 19950209] So you always take one point of damage when using Flesh of Marble. as far as the agg/regular question, normal damage is handled first when you're actually TAKING the damage, but when you're preventing it you can choose to prevent whichever you want. If you have a FoM in play, I suspect you actually could choose to take the 1 normal instead. -- Derek Jack-Booted Thug of Atlanta

Correct (unless you prevent *all* of the damage through other means, of course). > as far as the agg/regular question, normal damage is handled first > when you're actually TAKING the damage, but when you're preventing it > you can choose to prevent whichever you want.
