If a card or token would reduce an attack's damage to zero, do you still get the defensive roll?

Several players who know the rules well advise rolling first, though one poster reads the rules the other way.

Usually not if you play it first, so roll first. If the damage is reduced to zero before your defensive roll, the roll is generally treated as lost. The safe play is to roll, use the result, and only then spend the card or token on what remains. Spending Chi after the roll keeps the roll, so the Monk can reach zero damage and still roll. One poster argues a defendable attack always earns its roll; that is the minority reading.
