Progeny Flips when a hero character card is less than 10 HP. Does an incapacitated hero count for this (as they are hypothetically a hero character card at 0 HP)? We had a very in depth discussion about interpreting the question and couldn't come to a solid answer, so I'm looking for an official ruling. Thanks!
The forums moved on March 1, 2021. Please read this page for more information.
A hero has to be active with 10 or less health. Incapped heroes should not count towards it unless you use the Huge incap power of Sky Scraper.

That's pretty much what one side of the argument was; the other side notes that nowhere on Progeny does it say 'active hero with 10 or less'. Do you know of anywhere that a designer has commented on it?
Incapacitated characters have no health, so cannot have 10 or less health. The exception, as noted above, is Sky Scraper, who's incapacitated side allows her to have 1 health.

During playtesting, I got the impression the idea is for Progeny to go into a frenzy until that target is gone, then go back to normal until there's another weak target.

Thanks for the input, everyone!
I can concur that an incapacitated Hero has a lack of health, and is not considered to have 0hp, or hp at all. They will not factor in, other than Sky-Scraper's huge incap ability that is amazing vs. Progeny.
