As noted in the Rules FAQ, a target can take damage from a Damage Shield once for each time the character with the Damage Shield has to make an Attack Roll — thus, just one time for an Autofire or multiple-power attack, but potentially multiple times for Sweep.
I think the FAQ only talks about an attacker using a Multiple Power attack or Sweep to attack a Damage Shield protected character. My question dealt with the reverse, an attacker with an Offensive DS using a MPA or Sweep to attack.
But from your answer I gather the same priciple applies. I wasn't sure about Sweep, I thought that might be made an exception to avoid abuse. But I got it now. Thanks.
