Why not let Alexander take the hit? It won't affect him all that much. By the by, powergaming is [i]also[/i] making it so that you can't take any meaningful damage. What Lilith is doing is [i]autohitting[/i].

The problem is that he wasn't given the chance to take the hit.  The GM broke his own rule and auto-hit Alex.  The GM said auto-hitting is against the rules, but he just auto-hit Alex, supposedly without John's permission.
