<p><strong>Yes, Alieniod with Herbivore should gain 1 Star for not damaging anyone.</strong></p>

<p>Herbivore specifically tells you to gain a Star if you don't damage anyone, so assuming Alienoid doesn't buy a card that damages anyone, they will gain 1 Star from <strong>Herbivore</strong>. The <a href="http://www.iellogames.com/download/KOT-US-Rules-low.pdf">rules specifically</a> call out the matter:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>If an attack somehow ends up doing no damage (due to Camouflage for example), then it is no longer considered an attack for the purposes of cards like Poison Spit or <strong>Herbivore</strong>.</p>

<p>This scenario came up in a game played tonight:</p>

<ol>
<li>The King is in Tokyo City and has an Armor Plating card ("Ignore
damage when that damage would only make you lose 1"). </li>
<li>Alienoid is not in Tokyo and has a Herbivore card ("Gain 1 star on your turn if
you don't damage anyone"). </li>
<li>Alienoid, after his second and final reroll, has rolled a single Attack (along with a few hearts).  We all agreed that The King should not take any damage because of his Armor Plating.</li>
</ol>

<p>Our question:  Should Alienoid gain 1 star since he didn't damage anyone?</p>

Does a herbivore gain 1 star if he attacks but the damage is ignored due to armor plating?

**Yes, Alieniod with Herbivore should gain 1 Star for not damaging anyone.**

Herbivore specifically tells you to gain a Star if you don't damage anyone, so assuming Alienoid doesn't buy a card that damages anyone, they will gain 1 Star from **Herbivore**. The [rules specifically](http://www.iellogames.com/download/KOT-US-Rules-low.pdf) call out the matter:

> If an attack somehow ends up doing no damage (due to Camouflage for example), then it is no longer considered an attack for the purposes of cards like Poison Spit or **Herbivore**.
