Notes and Rules Information for Temper:
- You can make X be larger than the amount of damage, but you only get one counter for each actual point of damage prevented. (2004-10-04)
- The +1/+1 counters do show up at the same time as any unprevented damage, which means they are there before you check for lethal damage. (2004-10-04)
