Will she take Mystics?

Yep. Damage is being dealt by an attack.

Thought so. Someone asked me about the after actions resolve part. Thank you.

Wait why is that the case? If that was true, then if I used incapacitate normally with any figure, if they took pushing damage, then wouldn't that be the same thing? This is after actions resolve, so at that point the attack is done.

Hmm.

I missed the "after actions resolve" and any implications it might have. I may not be correct in that case.

Incap doesn't deal damage normally. It only assigns a token. It's the token that deals the damage, which is why Incap doesn't trigger Mystics when assigning the second token, but does when assigning a token to a target with two.

Harpua, at reply #5, said it wouldn't trigger mystics.

The key to Mystics is not the WHEN? Its the WHAT?

If it comes from an ATTACK Mystic deals damage.
Incap PUSHING Damage doesnt come from the attack, it comes from pushing. The timing has little to do with it.

Now, I think an argument can be made, but it will hinge on whether the damage is from an ATTACK or not as opposed to when the damage occurs.

I would argue this is damage from an Attack and should trigger Mystics, but thats just my opinion.

BEB's penetrating does not trigger mystics.

Incorrect, when is just as important as why. When is why Incap and BEB don't trigger mystics.

Thanks. I stand corrected. Not sure that I'm a particular fan of that distinction, but at least it's clear enough. When matters.

The more I think about it, in this cases and most cases the "when" does play a large role in separating the damage from the attack since it does occur after the attack resolved.

However, I dont think that is a necessity and we should be careful not to think there is a hard and fast unwritten rule.

A power could be worded:
"Give Close x a Combat Action...After actions resolve this attack deals 1 damage if y"

In this case the damage could come from the attack during a different phase of the game.

While we're all here - I'd like to say in re: Incap

INCAPACITATE Give this character a close combat or ranged combat action to make an attack that deals no damage. If the attack hits, give the target an action token;
if the target already has 2 action tokens, deal the target 1 penetrating damage.

I think that if you hit the target with 2 tokens, thus dealing the target 1 penetrating, and you roll the CRIT - it should be 2 penetrating, even though Incapacitate is an Attack That Deals No Damage.

It has been ruled otherwise, but I'd love it to work.

Just a pet peeve...

If it happens after action resolves than it will not trigger mystics, unless it is an actual attack outside of an action, but I don't think that exists.

You can modify Damage DEALT on No Damage Attacks. The only current restriction on No Damage Attacks is that you can not modify Damage VALUES and no Crits.

How can you increase damage dealt on incap?
