Okay so I've got Deadman with one token and Protected on him. He's attacked successfully by Nightmare with Stunning Blow. What's the timing on this? Do I get to use my Protected? When he attacks, I only have one action token, which makes me eligible to use the Feat. But does the Incapacitate portion of his attack happen first, giving me a second token and preventing me from using the Protected? Or can I still declare I'm Protecting myself from the attack, taking the second action token anyway for using the Protected, but at least avoiding the Stunning Blow Damage?
Due to the new wording of Protected, Deadman wouldn't be able to use Protected.
"PROTECTED
Cost: 8
Choose a character. (Optional) If the character does not already have two action tokens on it, damage dealt to the character as a result of a single action is ignored. After that action is resolved, give the character an action token and remove this feat from the game. If the character already had one action token on it, giving it a second action token deals pushing damage normally."

This is a reversal of previous understandings based on the new wording of Protected In order to use Protected, the character will need to be able to be assigned a token after the resolution of the action. In the case described above, the character will not be able to get a token from Protected (as the token from Incap hits the character with the attack resolution), and thus cannot ignore the damage.
