Arkham Horror
Does an investigator take damage when they defeat a monster on their own attack, or when a monster attacks them?
The rulebook's Steps of the Monster Phase section says engaged monsters deal their printed icons when they attack.

Defeating a monster on your own attack deals you no damage. A monster deals its printed damage and horror only when it attacks in the Monster Phase, and no dice are rolled for it.
