[LSJ] Merril Molitor + agg

I searched Google and was surprised that I couldn't find an answer to this question. My apologies if I just missed it somewhere. Merril Molitor is empty and gets hit with a Flamethrower. Which of these is correct? A) Merril must burn because he can only convert 1 agg to normal. The normal damage (applied first) sends him to torpor where the aggravated damage burns him. B) Merril may choose to be sent to torpor by the first aggravated wound and then convert the second to normal, avoiding destruction. My playgroup had a little showdown between group 1 and group 3 Tremere this week. They hit each other with Walks of Flame and then I ousted both of them. :) Thanks in advance! -Matt --

A). Normal (including "as normal") damage is handled first. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

Congratulations. :-) Just wanted to chime in and give you kudos for searching Google first. You'd be surprised how quickly and how often you can find the answers to your questions in a Google search (but so many people don't bother). It's a wonderful habit and checking before asking is always appreciated by the regulars! Nice to see a fresh face around here too! Halcyan 2
