If I negate all the damage from an enemy attack, do its extra effects still happen?

Several players agree on this reading, but there is no official ruling or clear rulebook text.

It depends on the wording. A rider that is phrased as depending on you suffering damage or fear (such as discarding after a wound) does not happen when everything is prevented. A separately listed effect, such as extra facedown damage, still resolves unless its text says otherwise, and you can still use guard, cloaks or garb against it.
