Power Gained from Attack

[JClark]

In the rules, it states power is gained to the damaged character as they take damage in 12a. They can also KO or Daze in 12a. It doesn't state when the attacking character would gain the power if able by an attack that has the phrase " you gain power equal to the damage you dealt". Does this also happen in 12a? If it doesn't happen in 12a can you please explain logically why it wouldn't? I believe both the attacker and defender should receive power simultaneously others are arguing it doesn't I just would like to know why.

This isn't stated in the core rules because there is no core rule that provides power to the character doing the damage.

This will depend on the individual rule providing the power.

For the rules you appear to be referencing, you have left off the part that states when you gain the power. Those rules are generally worded as "After this attack is resolved, this character gains power equal to the damage dealt."

"After this/the attack is resolved" is a reference to the timing step you perform the rule, which is step 14 of an attack.
