I know that, at the end of your turn, you discard all the remaining cards in your hand (unless you spend influence to keep them) and draw cards from your deck until you have 5 cards in your hand.
However, after being attacked by a instant event card or another player, the game doesn't mention anything about discarding the remaining card from your hand, it only mention that you draw cards from your deck until you have 5 cards in your hand. This seems rather brutal, because if I'm the fourth player and I draw five gold cards in my hand, nothing prevent an instant event card AND all the other players to annihilate me while I can do nothing to defend myself.
I'm I reading this right? If so, what do you think about this specific rule?
