G28 worries, gifting SCALES

Yes. If you accidentally, or on purpose, become disabled in the wrong spot, you will be gifting scales, or other benefits (disabled in opponents secret passage, or in the way of one of your own defenses, etc.)

Official GDC answer is that every instance is evaluated separately. So if you break down like I described above, you could gift two scales.

That said I could see the GDC going either way
