Taking damage to gain Power.

[Machi]

This sentence in the rule book is unfortunately causing some confusion in our local community.

 

"The most common way characters gain Power is by taking damage from enemy effects."

 

Does this rule apply to the following scenarios?

1) Taking damage from Bleed status effect.

2) Taking collision damage from Throws.

[Negoldar]

Special conditions are explicitly not enemy effects. No power is gained from them. 

If the collision was caused by an enemy effect, the characters taking that damage will gain power.
