Timing of damage and devoured

[Fettster]

Hi, Something came up in a game tonight. My demon of gluttony was in combat and got enough hits to devour its opponent, but they got enough hits to do 5 damage and my non-obese form only had 4 wounds left.

What order are the effects of hits applied?

Does
a) Demon takes 4 damage and dies before it devours opponent
b) Demon takes 4 damage, devours opponent and become obese and takes excess hit on obese form, leaving it with 3 LP
c) Demon devours opponent, become obese and takes 5 damage, so dies (since obese form only has 4 LP)

Thanks, Leigh

Answer a.
Rulebook, p.50 : "Once the damage has been applied than any changes of state or special effects triggered will occur."

You're welcome.

Perfect, thanks Liancour, know it had to be in there somewhere, but couldn't find it at the time. That is the way we played it as seemed most logical.
