Betrayal at House on the Hill (First Edition)

← All Betrayal at House on the Hill (First Edition) questions

Before the haunt, can a player choose which trait takes physical damage, even one that drops to its lowest space?

The rulebook allows choosing which trait to lower, but posters split on assigning damage to a trait already at its lowest space.

Yes. The rulebook lets you split physical damage between Might and Speed as you choose, and before the haunt a trait stays at its lowest value instead of reaching the skull, so you can put all of it into a trait already at its lowest space. Some players instead require damage to go to a trait that can still drop, so this is contested.
