So... by similar rulings about aid from bats and dodge... dodging a blissful agony... I don't ignore the fighting someone else text, do I? ~SV

Odd that that question hasn't come up before. Sure, the dodge protects from the combat-starting effect of the BA. The original combat will still end, though.

[ quoted text not captured ] I strike BA and my opponent strikes dodge... in some order. Does Blissfull Agony affect the dodger, or does it effect the combat, or does it effect me? Cause I mean... I'm getting out of the combat, and someone else is joining. Doesn't look like it effected the would be dodger at all... Though: i suppose Blissful Agony specifically mentions the opposing minion, but never really 'chooses' him... So in the case whenever any combat strike effect mentions to opposing minion, a dodge would protect them? Thanks ~SV

Dodge protects the minion from that effect. > So in the case whenever any combat strike effect mentions to opposing > minion, a dodge would protect them? The dodge protects him whether he's mentioned or not. If he's not mentioned, though, there's little from which to protect him.
