If a card lets you choose between losing Health and discarding, or discarding a type of card, can you pick the option you cannot pay?
The designer says a penalty you cannot perform is not a real choice; the all-items case has no ruling, so it is left open.

No. You cannot choose a penalty you cannot pay, such as losing Health while stunned or discarding an Item you do not have. You take the payable option, and you avoid both only when neither is payable. Whether a discard-all penalty counts as payable when you hold none is disputed, and no ruling settles it.
