Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition)

Can you spend surges on an attack that deals no damage because it was fully blocked?

Several players agree and it follows the rulebook's definition of a miss, though no official post says so.

Yes. A blocked attack is not a miss, so surge abilities and fatigue recovery can still be used. Only an X or too little range makes the attack a miss. Condition surges are the exception because they need at least 1 damage to get through.
