So tonight we had a question come up about Protected and Alias. On both of them it says that when you use them, they are removed from the game. I thought that once they are used and removed from the game, your opponent gets the points for it. Some other players were under the assumption that you didn't until the figure it is attached to leaves the game. I just trying to figure out which is the correct way. I know that Protected used to work that way, but it could have changed during some of the time I was away from the game.

When the feat is used it is removed from the game and opponent gets the points for the feat that is used.

What he said

page 20 of the FF rule book

• Feats removed from surviving characters. If a feat
is removed from the game and all the assigned characters are on
the map, award victory points to the opposing player whose character
most recently damaged the character to which the feat was assigned.

And if the character never took damage...?

...divide it equally among all opposing players.
