When a Dark Arts or Villain effect offers a choice of losing Health or discarding, can you choose the option you cannot pay?

Question

Accepted Answer

No. You cannot choose a penalty you are unable to pay. If you have no Item to discard, you lose the Health instead, and the same applies when stunned.
