Vibranium Shield Global: Is a reactive ability triggered?

Postby jbmoby » Mon Nov 10, 2014 10:53 pm

Pay [1 Shield] to prevent 1 damage to a character or player.


A reaction ability would inherently seem to be a triggered ability, but the language of the global doesn't have a trigger explicitly stated: eg "when a character or player would take damage..."

So, can you use the Vibranium Shield ability to prevent multiple points of damage from the same source (eg pay two shield to prevent all the damage from one Power Bolt)?

This wording is meant for multiple usages. You could prevent both damage from Power Bolt. Wording like, "When you are dealt damage, pay X for effect A." means you can only do it once.
