Give vs. Take Damage

[Roderic_Cliche]

Last night, in a game against a player using the bandaged Ada, we ran into an interesting concern. One game effect--Reversal Level 1--was stating to "give the character 10 damage" to use it. Something else noted "when this character takes damage," do something. I think it was a case of taking damage to trash out a card, but I'm not sure off hand (without looking at my RE stuff) what was causing it.

My question is whether this was legal or not.

In addition, one of the skills--I think it's Toughness Level 1 or 2?--mentions how the player can reduce damage taken by 10. Would that work with Reversal Level 1 to basically allow free cards and a free action?

I seem to remember that there was something odd regarding one of the early Chris Redfields who could reduce damage taken where he could only reduce damage taken from damage while exploring instead of from any source, but I might be misremembering, and this might have changed.

Please let me know. Thanks!

For the first question that you stated for Ada Wong is correct what you said. You will get the cards and the effect of the skill as well.

For your second question both of the skill do work together

For the last question that Chris only reduces damage from Infected and Weapons (Exclusive for VS Mode)

Thank you!

I would think "give" and "take" were chosen so that the effects didn't stack.
