During a different session’s battle encounter, Shannon has One Hand and Shield and Heavy Armor skills to use. She has 1 Shield Discipline die with the side in her active slot. She also has 1 Resolve die with in her cooldown track. An adjacent enemy deals 3 damage to Shannon. Shannon uses her skill dice to protect against the 3 damage as follows:
1. First, Shannon chooses for the Resolve die to prevent 2 damage. Since it is a ability, it remains in Shannon’s cooldown track.
2. Then, Shannon uses the active Shield Discipline die to prevent the remaining 1 damage. She must remove that die from her active slot and exhaust it.
3. All of the damage has been prevented, so there is no damage remaining to reduce Shannon’s HP. For the purpose of game effects, the enemy still deals 3 damage, but Shannon takes 0 damage.
