How does the card source clarification square with the following rulings:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13913https://win.wizkids.com/bb/viewtopic.ph ... 22a955849dThese rulings state an Action die is doing the ability damage.
I understand how combat damage only comes from a die’s Attack value; hence a die is the only source of combat damage. But non-combat or ability damage, depending on the card text, can be applied by a character or action die as well. In those cases, wouldn’t the die be the source of the damage?
If non-combat or ability damage does not require a die to be the vehicle in applying that damage (e.g. when a specific game state or a particular effect occurs the damage ability is triggered), then I understand in those instances the card would be the source of the damage.
In summary, is the distinction of source, with regards to applying damage, more applicable to the type of the damage (combat or non-combat/ability) vice the component?
For example, a die can inflict both combat and non-combat damage and each instance of damage is different. Hence the “source” is more applicable to type of damage. This is important for damage prevention abilities since those abilities are usually predicated on the type of damage.
Appreciate your consideration.
