"A damaging attack will always do at least 1 point of damage (before resistances)."
Is this printed in a 4E book somewhere? Every single member of my local club knows that this is a rule, but nobody can point it out. I know that this was true in 3E, and I sort of remember at least playing that way in 2E, but I can't find it printed in a 4E book.
By what rules I can actually locate, if you are weakened (half damage, drop the fraction) and fighting an insubstantial (half damage, drop the fraction) enemy that has a power to transfer half of its damage (drop the fraction) to one of its allies, you'd need to do at least 8 points of damage to get 1 point to stick. If you do only 7, then the result is 0:
7 / 2 = 3.5 -> 3
3 / 2 = 1.5 -> 1
1 / 2 = 0.5 -> 0
