On Return to the Astral Shrine, a rook just shot a Spark at a character with Raging Strike, and the raging strike penalty didn't activate. Or is it not supposed to activate until after armor?
It's similar to this: http://www.cardhunter.com/forum/threads/bug-firestarter-burn-reliable-mail-0.2724 First you must suffer damage. THEN the bonus to damage applies. Hence Jon edited text like these to say "When you take damage, add [blah blah]." Cards do also apply left-to-right, but the game checks in waves: first Blocks, then Armor, then other stuff.
