Currently the definition for Damage Transferal says:

"Damage Transferal is the ability to duplicate the wounds an individual has suffered from on to their opponent or other individuals. The damage they share with the targeted individual could be physical, mental, spiritual or supernatural in nature or some combination of the above.

Transferring wounds does not necessarily remove the wounds from the afflicted user. This ability is not to be confused with Attack Reflection, which reflects attacks rather than transfer injuries."

I think this definition however isn't broad enough, for example Priscilla Barielle has the ability to transfer the damage she suffers to a jewel she has, it takes the damage for her. The current DT definiton doesn't mention anything about something else being able to take damage for you, and is limited to duplicating damage on to your opponent.

I think it should be added that the ability can also allow the user to transfer their damage on to an object
 
I agree.

Similarly, the same can be done offensively (having something taking damage and getting a target suffer the same), when the page only mensions individuals having wounds as opposed to anything.
 
This powers transfer damage, not AP (like Attack Reflection), the power is irrelevant here.
 
The power should work as long the target share the same physiology of the user, it also have to be corporeal (unless it also transfer spiritual damage or metaphysic damage).
 
I think that it seems fairly uncontroversial to do so, yes.
 
How does this sound for the new definition:

"Damage Transferal is the ability to duplicate the wounds an individual has suffered from on to their opponent or other individuals or objects. The ability can also be used to have the target such as an object or person take damage for the user or have the target suffer the same damage they have suffered. The damage they share with the targeted individual or object could be physical, mental, spiritual or supernatural in nature or some combination of the above.

Transferring wounds does not necessarily remove the wounds from the afflicted user. This ability is not to be confused with Attack Reflection, which reflects attacks rather than transfer injuries."
 
Okay. Thank you. Should we close this thread then?
