For redirection, it's been ruled that increases or decreases based on the intended target of an attack are recalculated after a redirection is applied and the intended target thus changes. Given that such increases or decreases must be recalculated after a redirection is applied, it seems most appropriate to me that they are all applied before a redirection is possibly determined.
I'm a bit confused, but my understanding based on what has been said is currently:
1) Damage type changes are applied, with the latest timestamp taking effect.
2) Modifiers are applied based on source, target and type applied in timestamp order.
3) Redirection is now an option. If the attack is redirected, remove any target-based modifiers, then apply any applicable modifiers based on the new target.
So, in this particular case, Mr. Fixer would be the initial target, the damage modifiers would be applied and lower damage to the point where he can redirect the attack, but in doing so, the 1 damage reduced would be undone?
Yes, though ...
For #2, you mention 'applied in timestamp order', but I believe that's unnecessary. If you're just considering the set of increases and decreases the order in which they are applied is irrelevant.
