Grievous Wounds and Brand New Day

[ryanz]

If I were to play the Grievous Wounds ttc, successfully trigger the effect of the card preventing the targeted character from removing damage this Activation Phase, then subsequently Daze that character on the same round and play the Brand New Day ttc would my opponent be able to choose the first option, even though they are unable to resolve the first half of the effect or would they be forced to choose the second option the card offers since the first option cannot legally be resolved?

They would be allowed to choose the first option.

This effect resolves before the daze or KO occurs. It would "pause" the daze or KO, fail to remove the damage due to the grievous wound effect, then remove all special conditions and up to one activated token. It would finish resolving, the character would still have the maximum amount of damage and proceed to daze or KO.

Should this be taken as an eratta to the core rules? As written being dazed and having a dazed tokens appear to be two different things, the latter being an affect of the former. 

As written you're never applying that token since the character isn't dazed and the only noted time in the rules that you check for dazing a character is when adding the damage tokens. 

I cam just looking for clarity on this as far as the core rules go.

No.

Being Dazed is caused by having Damage equal to the character’s Stamina (page 16). In this case, a rule stops the process of being Dazed. If the character does not remove Damage during the resolution of Brand New Day, it will still meet the requirement for being Dazed and will become Dazed immediately when the effect finishes resolving.
