Someone draws the hunter card, and my max health is reduced by 20.

Me and my friend has had some disagreements on how this should apply, and I cannot find an answer anywhere.
He stated the damage tokens remain on my character, thus health thould be reduced to 30/60.
Since I have 30 damage worth of tokens on top of my character, as well as a -20 token.
80 - 30 - 20 = 30.

This would mean that if my health was 20/80 prior to the Hunter card being drawn, it would effectively kill me.
60 damage worth of tokens, plus a -20 reduction in maximum health.
80 - 60 - 20 = 0

I personally belive that reducing maximum health should not affect the health you have remaining.
So if I had 50/80 health, it would be reduced to 50/60.

Could I please get an official response on how maximum health reductions apply?
Sorry this isnt an official response (those take a while to get round here!). Your max health drops...but your current health remains the same. So in your example if you did indeed have 50/80 then it would be reduced to 50/60. The hunter card tells you to reduce your maximum health...it says nothing about your current health. The only time I feel this would be reduced is if you are at max health...because obviously you cannot have more than your max health.
