As a general rule that would be any card that does not cause damage when it is played by the cards but based on some other action such as revealing the top card of the deck.

@StartPlayer So the answer is that there is no card beside _Dinamite_ that do damage not caused by any player?

I think that there are a few cards in expansions that can also cause damage but I am not sure which is why I didn't answer.

# What sources of damage are not caused by players?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-06-29)

In the character list, it's states in *El Gringo* description that

> Note that *Dynamite* damages are not caused by any player.

So my question is: there are other cards which damage is not caused by any player?

## *Gatling* and *Indians!*

In [*BANG!* FAQ](http://www.dvgiochi.net/bang/bang_faq_eng.pdf) it's stated that *Gatling* and *Indians!* are caused by the player who played them.

Whenever a player plays a card that instantly deals damage to one of more players, that damage is considered caused by a player. This includes all possible brown cards with a 'bang' symbol.

If the damage is delayed (as it is with dynamite), it is not caused by any player. This is probably partially because it is impractical to keep track of who played it (especially when there are multiple dynamites going around).

That being said, dynamite is the only card in the base game that has this property. Off the top of my head, the card 'Rattlesnake' in the Valley of Shadows expansion is the only other card I know of that has similar behavior.
