We came across an interesting timing question during an event last night, wondering if you can tell us if we ruled it right.
Hit Monkey - He's a Hitman. Who's a Monkey.
When blocked, you may pay [Fist] to assign Hit-Monkey's combat damage to the defending player this turn as if it were not blocked (instead of dealing combat damage to blocking character dice).
My opponent moves 2A/2D Hit monkey to the attack zone. I block with a 1/1 Sidekick. My opponent immediately pays a fist for Hit monkey's ability. Does Hit Monkey do the 2 damage right away or do we then wait, go to globals and deal the damage to me after he has had a chance to buff Hit Monkey's Attack stats via globals?
