Official rulings

  1. The cost to avoid the penalty must be paid when the ability resolves. You can’t wait until later to do so. (2004-10-04)
  2. Paying the Heroism cost to allow a creature to deal damage does not prevent other effects from preventing it from dealing damage. Paying the cost only prevents the Heroism effect. (2004-10-04)
