1. Floor Rules Addendum: Presumed Dead: When Presumed Dead activates, the opponent who reduced its Hit Points to half or less immediately scores points equal to half of that character’s cost (rounded down). Its remaining points are awarded when the Presumed Dead character is defeated.

The 2024 designer and playtester group requested that the Balance Committee examine Presumed Dead.
