It's been so long since I saw this card...
Recently, a fellow at my league played two of these on me face up in his resource row. He and I went back and forth over this principle: (hopefully, I was right)
Token Resistance - Ongoing: Exhaust a character you control that is protecting a character --- > target character gets -1 atk this turn.
His read is that when he exhaust 1 character for this card that he should be able to give one of my characters -2 atk since he has two of them face up in his row. I argued that since it's a payment power that he would have to exhaust 2 seperate characters that were protectors to give any of my characters the -2 atk modifier.
Was I correct or should I start preparing my apoligy...
