poison question

By oren2, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

hello everyone,

according to the rulebook: " Wound tokens lost due to a Poison attack are replaced by poison tokens"

If the number of wounds from a spider attack is 6 and the armor is 4. does the hero loses 2 wounds and gain 2 poison tokens? or does he loses no wounds but gains 2 poison tokens?

He loses two wounds and gains two poison tokens. The poison tokens need to be "healed" first before the hero actually recovers any wounds.

And don't forget that these markers go away if the hero is killed (in our games, that seems to be how the hero gets rid of them, rather than healing he ends up dying).

Yeah, when one of our heroes gets poisoned, he usually gets poisoned A LOT. They usually opt to die and give up the CT rather than waste time and money trying to heal it all.
