If I have a protect fortress such as Pharaoh's throne room or High Priests Palace, and my character is decreased to 0/0 or less, are they discarded?
Pharaoh’s Throne Room (Pi)
Type: Fortress • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect Egyptian Evil Characters in your territory from discard and conversion. While you have an Egyptian king or Pharaoh in play, negate all “ignore” abilities on opponent’s Heroes. • Play As: Protect Egyptian Evil Characters in your territory from convert abilities and discard. While you have an Egyptian king or Pharaoh in play, negate all ignore abilities on opponent’s Heroes. • Identifiers: Play to territory. • Verse: Exodus 5:2 • Availability: Priests booster packs (Rare)

Not until they go into battle.

If it Protects from Discard no, but if it Protects from Discard Abilities, then yes it would.
-
Agreed to both. Protection from discard like on Throne Room or Joseph extends to game rule as well, including have 0 or less toughness.
When the character enters battle, their SA completes fully (as they have not entered battle by rule until that occurs), and then they are no longer in territory, thus not protected, and are discarded by game rule.

If joseph is decreased in battle to /0 or less, he isn't discarded till the end of battle.
-
Yes, he would die after the Battle Phase.
-
If joseph is decreased in battle to /0 or less, he isn't discarded till the end of battle.
Right, my second statement referred specifically to the question at hand. I used Joseph as another example of that type of protection, not as a case where he would be discarded in battle, though he does demonstrate the continuation of the thought to show that whenever the protection ends the discard will occur.
