ESP Leakage Damage

[Nstreb]

For the purposes of damage reducing abilities and team tactics cars like X-Ceptional Healing or Odins Blessing, do the damage incurred by skulls in the defence roll count as a separate source to that of the attack itself?

IE, attack rolls 2 success and defence rolls two skulls. Could Intense Physical Conditioning be used twice to reduce the total damage taken to 2, or could it only be used once to reduce the total damage taken to 3?

Similarly, if Odin’s Blessing was used in the above scenario, would total damage taken be 1 or 3?

Thanks

This is two separate instances of the character taking damage, so you could use this superpower on each instance.

A total of 3 damage, 1 from one of the instances of damage and 2 from the other.

Very interesting, thanks for the quick response!
