- Q: I wanted to confirm my understanding of the interaction between Guard Dog and Pit Viper. I am attacked by the Pit Viper and assign the damage to my Guard Dog and use its , I deal 1 damage back to the Pit Viper, defeating it. Am I correct in reading that the Pit Viper's Forced ability does not trigger because the Pit Viper is no longer in play by the time it would trigger? Put more simply: does assigning damage to Guard Dog and using Guard Dog's reaction to defeat a Pit Viper avoid giving me a Poisoned weakness? A: Correct; assigning Pit Viper’s damage to Guard Dog and using Guard Dog’s reaction ability to defeat Pit Viper will make it so Pit Viper’s Forced ability does not resolve. (March 2024)

Forced - After Pit Viper deals you damage from its attack: If you are not poisoned, put a set-aside Poisoned weakness into play in your threat area.

I have a question about this card.
If I assign the viper damage to an asset (not the investigator), do I still get poisoned? Because it feels a bit antithematic if I assign the bite to an ally but it's me who gets poisoned..
Hi, I just read the faq for this card (March 2024) and its interaction with cards like guard dog or similary that trigger reaction abilities...and I'm a bit astonished...
The question is: the Rules Reference for triggered abilities states literally "For any given timing point, all forced abilities initiated in reference to that timing point must resolve before any reaction abilites referencing the same timing point in the same manner may be initiated".
So why this forced ability doesn't trigger before the reaction one this time?? I'm a bit perplexed....
