Damage to yourself and Recovering Question

Games Sentinel Comics RPG
#1

Say I have a green ability that says:

"Attack up to two targets using Electricity. Also take an amount of damage equal to your Mid die."

This hero also has an inherent yellow ability that says:

"If you would take damage from Electricity, reduce that damage to 0 and Recover that amount of Health instead"

If this hero was in the yellow zone and used the green ability, would he heal instead of damaging himself?

#2

Yes, he would Recover instead of taking damage.

#3

Synergy…

#4

Working as intended!  I've actually seen a few builds that use that Inherent to turn a "drawback" into a boon.

#5

one thing to watch for-
Some Inherent abilities say “reduce to 0 and heal instead” and some abilities say “heal instead of damage” so irreducible damage can still mess you up if you are depending on the wrong ability
